Cause as it stands right now there are a few category suggestions that would just overlap like crazy and essentially be the same pool of videos and it doesn't make sense to create a bunch of similar categories to potentially just award them all to the same handful of videos.
But if there is like some stipulation where if one video won two or more categories, it takes one of them instead, and the other categories can go to the runner up instead etc etc. Overall it would help to spread the love around I'd be more inclined to vote for some of these other categories that are close to being functionally identical. Otherwise it just seems like a lot of unnecessary redundancy.
Since the category nominations and the video nominations are all 1 step, you kinda have to vote for everything because you don't know which categories will make it forward and which videos will make it forward in those categories. It's a necessary evil because of how the rounds got combined. If you pick 1 category of 2 that look the same and only vote in that and everyone else picks the other one, you just, effectively, lost all of your votes.
Good point. But I still think it'd be good to spread things around rather than just letting a handful of videos potentially win everything (but I think all contests should have that rule/policy anyways) Right now it can go down where Best in Show/Drama/Sentimental/Emotional/Romance (plus all the technical/editing/artistic/etc) type awards could go to just one or two videos, not saying thats its a guarantee that something like that will happen, but it can definately make a contest really boring. (for other contestants and the audience at least, can't deny that its super exciting and fun for the winner lol)
You've got to believe in the
... Or they could just give me all the awards. I think I could be strong and shoulder that heavy burden.
