XD But next year I'll have to go at it at the Master's Level. Oh, and is there anything I have to do to get prizes shipped to me, or does the convention staff handle it?
Your video won because the anime was completely unrecognizable. Most of the judges didn't even know it was Fruits Baskets until the very end. Your brilliant editing of using only the "dark" scenes from the show totally blew everyone away.
Unfortunately, swag prizes are only offered at the Awards Ceremony if you are able to attend, but your trophy will be shipped to you.

The "Honorable Mentions" are something we are trying to return to in making these events more personal and fan-oriented.
Your video was a fun piece and all those scenes of Inspector Zenigata swinging his handcuffs at Lupin got someone thinking about "bondage".

Are you sure there aren't specific winners for the separate categories like action, drama, and comedy?
A-Kon doesn't do category winners any more. Not for several years. Most other conventions already do that, why should we? We're different!

The master list will be posted on the VSE website soon.

Does this mean people were actually singing along with the video? Maybe I should have made a special version with superimposed lyrics and a bouncing ball...

I was singing along. Missed the whole 'Heil, Meeeeeee" bit though. ^_^ It got a lot of laughs.

And I second Judge's sentiment.

That's because I used the version from the original movie, which is almost 2 full minutes shorter than the one from the musical (thank God). However, Mel Brooks requires that every production of the musical use a recording of his one line from the original version, so that was the same.

If you really want a laugh riot, see "To Be or Not to Be" (either the original version or the re-make Mel Brooks produced). It features the original version of that gag with Hitler responding to "Heil Hitler" by saying, "Heil, Myself." It never stops being funny!
