Well, it's true. This is a Viewers Choice Award, thusly there is no profesionalism or objectivity in the judging.
Take a popular AMV producer, use a popular anime, a popular song, and do a really good job, you have a fanbase you can already use, and they'll vote for that video.
Take an unknown AMV producer, use a rare anime, and a song that works really well with the video, and do a kick ass job. You don't win, even if it's incredable, because few actually see the video, and thusly few actually vote for the video.
It's sad, because it makes this a popularity contest. And after the contest is finalized, there will be an uproar about it being just that. Just like last year.
I would honestly LOVE to see another AMV contest, where as a group of judges was selected, and the videos were judged objectivly and profesionally.
