Jackson (Lucius Best / Frozone)** * **Award:** Won the **NAACP Image Award** for *Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance* (2019). * **Who he was up against:** He defeated a highly competitive field, including **Mahershala Ali** (*Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*), **Shameik Moore** (*Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*), **Issa Rae** (*BoJack Horseman*), and **Laya DeLeon Hayes** (*Doc McStuffins*). ### **Individual Nominations** * **Holly Hunter (Helen Parr / Elastigirl)** * **Award:** Nominated for the **Annie Award** for *Outstanding Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production* (2019). * **Who she was up against:** She lost to **Bryan Cranston**, who won for his role as Chief in *Isle of Dogs*. Other nominees in the category were **Eddie Redmayne** (*Early Man*), **Charlyne Yi** (*Next Gen*), and **Sarah Silverman** (*Ralph Breaks the Internet*). * **Award:** Nominated for **The Animated Movie Star of 2018** at the **People's Choice Awards**. * **Who she was up against:** She was up against several major stars, with the award ultimately going to **Selena Gomez** (*Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation*).

While individual voice actors like Holly Hunter or Craig T. Nelson weren't nominated in the voice categories that year (which were swept by the cast of *Hotel Transylvania 3*), the cast was celebrated as part of the film's win. * **Teen Choice Awards (2018):** The film won **Choice Summer Movie**, beating out live-action hits like *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom* and *Ocean's 8*. * **Critics' Choice Awards (2019):** Though the film was nominated for **Best Animated Feature**, it lost to *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse*. In summary, **Samuel L. Jackson** was the only cast member to take home a major individual acting trophy, while **Holly Hunter** received the most consistent critical recognition with nominations at the Annie and People's Choice Awards.
