From what I could tell, the TV outside was just playing DDR Project (not sure which one) over and over.
As far as runner ups, they didn't announce any. I think they showed one video from each person who submitted videos. My Hikaru no Go video was shown, but my Trigun video wasn't. But on the other hand, I know one video creator who did not have his/her video shown at all. Not sure since I haven't seen it, but I would imagine his/her video would have been better than some of those shown.
Overall, the contest was a mixed bag of good videos and some which weren't as good. Two out of four winners were present. I was also wondering why they cut the judges' awards that they did last year.
Good videos I'd like to point out:
Various video to unkown friendship some...
Very original and entertaining video. Good lipsyncing. Can't remember which song it was to right now, but it was one of my favorites of the contest.
Soul Brother Ryo's Hikaru no Go video...
There needs to be more good HnG videos... where's the love?
