OUTSTANDING ANIMATED PROGRAM

American Dad (“Holy S… Jeff’s Back”)

Bob’s Burgers (“Father of the Bob”)

BoJack Horseman (“The Telescope”)

The Legend of Korra (“Enter the Void/Venom of the Red Lotus”)

South Park (“#HappyHolograms”)

AND THE WINNER IS:

THE LEGEND OF KORRA (“ENTER THE VOID/VENOM OF THE RED LOTUS”)

This is the third win and nomination for The Legend of Korra for animated program. The show won previous times in 2012 and 2014.

The Legend of Korra surprised many like myself airing it’s final two seasons in the same tv season and while I was glad to get more Legend of Korra I was also sadened by it coming to an end. The episode in particular I felt was the show at it’s best from both seasons was the combination of the final two episodes from the third season “Enter the Void/Venom of the Red Lotus”. The episode featured highly dramatic action, quiet devestating deaths and one of the most heartbreaking final shots where the Korra we all know is gone and is broken as a person after going through such a traumatic experince. The animation of the episode flows as we see these elements beautifully fighting aganist one another and then the episodes really killed me when we see an Avatar completly devestated a show like this being able to do this was shocking and great and giving this show animated program of the year for me as a farewell feels right for me.
