I really don't get how the Elfen Lied video didn't sweep comedy and I don't get how that Dashboard Confessional video got nominated in every catagory.

I don't see how I was nominated in the first place.

I call it 26 minute of pretentious fanwankage. I don't care about the point but if the pretention cannot be contained in less time than an episode of a television it gets annoying. And I sure as hell know I am not the only one who feels that way.

And no it did not get every category. It managed to stay out of dance and fun/upbeat sentimental etc. So there is some common sense in the world.

It got robbed out of Sentimental, but Dance/Upbeat I can understand.

[im joking, jesus fucking christ]

All the more reason to vote on it for best artistic.

Art is all about pretentious fanwankage.

I don't care if it wins or not, I just don't want to have to sit through that thing in the awards ceremony....

I doubt they'd have the time... remember that the cosplay contest always threatens to cut us off... damn cosplayers.

Regardless though.. having watched it through a full 3 times and watched sections many more times I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Because it's not comedy. It's horror. Just because you use a goofy cover version of a Disturbed song doesn't automatically make it a comedy.

and I don't get how that Dashboard Confessional video got nominated in every catagory.

It's a nice video and all, but I didn't care too much for it. Then again, I never got into Kare Kano.
