History
Awards for voice acting were awarded at the Annie Awards previously to 1998, but the category was a catch-all for film and television. The award as it is now was divided in two separate sub-categories for males and females in 1998, 2000, and 2001. It was called Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production from 1998 to 2001,[1][2] and Outstanding Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production from 2002 to 2004.[3]
At the 33rd Annual Awards, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit was the only film that was nominated.[4]
So far, the only tie in this category happened in the 44th Annual Awards with both Auli'i Cravalho (Moana) and Jason Bateman (Zootopia) sharing the prize.[5]
On January 25, 2020, Josh Gad became the category's first two-time recipient, when the actor won for his vocal portrayal of the snowman Olaf in Frozen II, having previously won for voicing the character in 2013 for Frozen.[6]
