No love for Iron Chef

At this point I think it's a given who won

Congrats to all the winners btw.

This is different than what kholaras posted and the only difference between the two lists. But you're the boss, so I'm going to go with what you posted. And besides, I like your list better: "Gina" is the better video of the two.
I'll go ahead and admit to this... there was another screwup in the showing that we didn't bring up at the time. Somehow the wrong vid was shown as having won the award during the ceremony, but they were both by you, so we let that one slide. I was hoping to get the correct report out there and gloss over the mistake, but it appears one of my staffers went out and posted the wrong stuff without checking with me first. Dammit.

Sorry Matt and everyone else. First year on staff and I guess I overstepped my bounds. It was a long two weekends of judging and an even longer con weekend, so I'm not really sure where it got messed up. Probably just read off the wrong line of my printouts.

I'll keep my mouth shut in the future

And did anyone ever notice that the movie Dark City borrowed gratuitously from Beautiful Dreamer?

Eh, if I was really pissed, I would'a e-mailed you privately. Next time ask first.

Goes to Helen of Allegretto Productions
For the Video “Absolution”
To the song “Allegretto” by Bond
To the Anime Ah! My Goddess Movie

That would be jasper-isis (Helen) and krzT (Kristie). It was a collab.

Here's something that I'm curious about: Since the video was created by the two of us, does it mean that we both qualify for the Masters contest now? >__>

Congrats again everyone

And it was an honor to win best character profile, I wish I could've gotten down there.

Goes to Hsien Lee of Kusoyaro Productions
For the Video “Peninsula Pomegranate Pendegrass”
To the song of the same name by Halley
To the film “Lost in Translation”

To anyone who's interested, I posted a download link to this video in my journal. Can't really make an entry on the site since it's completely unrelated to anime.

I'm not sure it's gratuitous, but there are definite similarities. I suspect Dreamer got its theme from Native American legends about the gods creating the world on the back of a turtle.

A quick Google search brings up several articles comparing Oshii (director of Beautiful Dreamer) with Proyas (director of Dark City). Dark City vs Avalon; I, Robot vs Ghost In the Shell, etc.

It's good that Quu is contributing to your education.
