* Note to all: Since the winning entry of this category also won Best in Show, we awarded the larger prize to that entry, leaving the other four to fight for the Comedy award.
* Note to MR: How do you feel about your decision to change categories now? :P

Annoying 6
18 HalOfBorg - "Aniworse"


Our con chair insisted this year on handling the award shipments himself so nothing should be lost in the mail. ;) Congrats to all the finalists and, especially, the winners! You made it an exciting contest this year!

To MysteriousRyder: Be prepared, becase your video is going to be just like the controversy with Nightowl Studios' "Love Is Flowers" from about 10 years ago.

I liked your video, but to me it's not a comedy. (And just because a video has yaoi content doesn't automatically mean that it's a comedy. When will people ever realize that?) If your video truly is a drama video, then it should ideally compete in the category that you intended it to compete in. Of course we can't control whether the coordinator will allow it to compete in the intended category, or if others in pre-judging believe that it should be in a different category.

I can't believe you got edged out by that Caanan video that's been making the rounds. I liked how you pulled off a fine action video using Miyazaki footage. Nicely done.

My new video didn't do so well at all, finishing in a very poor 5th of 6. I did tweak the video since then and sent it to other contests, but I have a feeling it's another longshot chance on making the cut. I think it's an even more-so longshot chance now, but stranger things have happened to my videos, especially last year. We'll see.

Congratulations to the other winners! I wish I could see all the videos. Thanks for posting the numbers, they're fun to look at ^_^. Now we know that one sweet misguided person voted for Knights in Tights for Best of Show :dino: .

I was told by my staffers there were a few mumbles in the crowd (basically about the violence) but it wasn't like anyone left the room over it. I know Brakus was quite pleased with the result as well and, apparently, vehemently supported your entry's inclusion. Anyway, it was very well-done. You earned it.
