No-Effects finals has only like 2 videos actually without effects, so using semi-finalists would make the choice for the judges a bit wider...

Okay, after some slave driving over the judges, I finally got the results in. Since we drew from the semi-finalists list (and because the VCA results were uncharacteristically on time this year), I couldn't get a concurrent release, but better late than never. I listed each category, the winning video, and two comments from various judges I felt pertained to the videos best.

However, I would like to note that two or three categories could not reach any consensus, due to having three or four-way ties. In those cases, I simply chose to omit those categories (I won't say which ones they are, just to keep it a surprise). I'm sure this will upset some of you guys, but I just can't please everyone. Also, one of the categories (not mentioned here to keep it spoiler-free) actually got a video that was not in the VCA semi-finalist list. It had votes from four judges independently, and it actually won the category by point totals. While this is technically a breach of the rules, the fact that the judges don't even know who the other judges are tells me that the video that made it through without being on the list really deserves its win.

All that said, enjoy the results because it took me a god damn long time to type them up. Also, I put them in a collapsable spoiler box so the post wouldn't be pages long.
Spoiler :
Best Action

Judge's Comments
* A wonderful compilation of fantastic fight sequences set to energizing music with an intriguing use of special effects.
