The nominees for the SIGGRAPH2009 Computer Animation Festival have been named, and CGSociety has the whole list.  Of the 770 submissions, 140 have been selected to show at SIGGRAPH, and the winners will be named at SIGGRAPH.

“We were thrilled with level of quality and technical expertise that was prevalent throughout the hundreds of submissions,” stated Carlye Archibeque, Computer Animation Festival Executive Producer from LightStage, LLC. “The Computer Animation Festival continues to show the power that the latest advances in computer graphics technologies have to amuse and entertain. As always the jury looked not only for amazing graphic content, but also good story telling, whether it was a film about a boy and his spaceship, or a film about new studies in Alzheimer’s research.”
