Not necessarily. "Best Other" would include horror and "Best 'WTF Did I Just Watch?'" wouldn't.
There is only ONE horror video and there are categories it could go in...such as Live Action or Non-Anime. "Other" could turn into a dumping ground for every video in the contest and not end up benefiting the ONE horror video at all.
I get what you're saying. I was just pointing out there are minor differences between the two. "Best 'WTF..." seems much more comedic in tone rather than a catch-all.

If it bothers you that much how about renaming it the " *facepalm* Award"?
The problem with EITHER way you word that, it is insulting to the video. While not everyone may take it that way, someone who worked hard on their video might "win" that and feel insulted. I feel like the "WTF did I just watch" seems a little less insulting and is a nicer way to word what you were trying to say with that category.

drewaconclusion wrote:Actually, I'd say keep the live action and ponies awards and change "non-anime" to be for 'not live-action, anime or ponies'. Though I don't know what to title it as just yet.
Why? There are like TWO videos that would fall into that category...
Actually, now that I go back over the list of videos, there's two horror and three non-anime/LA/ponies.

So, not enough for an entire category for horror, and "finalist by default" for the rest, good job :awesome:

Well I wasn't volunteering a horror category. Like I said, I was just pointing out that there'd be a difference. Sheesh.

As for the other, it was just a quick suggestion. No need to get all in a huff over it.

It's true, while I've edited Naruto and DBZ AMVs, I have not combined them yet :awesome:
