Damn straight. I honestly had to vote against a TF actor/actress in one category.

Anyone else think the way "children's/educational" was categorized intentionally favored Disney? The only Best Actress in C/E role in a show not produced by them or airing on Disney XD was a Pony. Considering half of the cartoons in the other categories are technically aimed at kids but with older fans in mind, and MLPFIM has been conscious of its following for years now, one wonders just where the line is drawn.

I keep forgetting that Young Justice only wrapped up last year. Even when I just fast forward through them to see if any of the DC shorts are new, all those Teen Titans GO! reruns make it feel like YJ's been gone for the better part of a decade. That show so deserved as many seasons as the Timmverse Justice League. sigh.

Back on topic, I didn't see the "Direct to DVD" nominations on that page. Will those categories be posted later?
