...and there were some familiar names among the winners. The Guild took 'Best Web Comedy (Serial)' and The Jeff Lewis 5 Minute Comedy Hour took 'Best Web Comedy (Episodic)'. This is the second year of the Awards and over 200, 000 people voted. I interviewed Patrick Sullivan from Clicker about the awards last week in PinkRaygun. One of the thing that was most pleasing about the Clicker Awards was the number of categories for web content and the range of shows nominated. This bodes well for the future.
The Indie-Intertube Awards 2010
This week also saw the announcement of the nominations for the Indie Intertube Awards. With a huge raft of categories and shows this will likely be the most comprehensive listing this year. The weekly Indie Intertube podcast is always the place to start if you want to know what is happening this week in the the webseries world, and so it's no surprise that many of the nominated shows are new to me. That is one of the joys of Indie Intertube (apart from Destini and Shadhavar, of course!) - the fact that they have introduced me to so many shows I had never heard of before.
You can also vote for the Audience Choice Award on the Indie Intertube website. The Guild, The Jeff Lewis 5 Minute Comedy Hour and many others are among the nominees, so you will be spoilt for choice. It's a good job you can vote every 30 minutes!
The Shorty Awards
...are also underway, and apart from loving the fact that @TheBloggess is again rocking the 'government' vote, there are some interesting nominations and categories. For a start, there are multiple nominations for Felicia Day but under different title, so she does not show up on the 'Actress' leader board as yet. Top of the Actress board is Stana Katic, which is great for us Castle fans. Nathan Fillion is also doing well in both the 'Actor' and 'Green' categories. I'm hoping that Browncoats: Redemption will do well in the charity category - they are 4th so far.
More Awards Coming Up
The Streamys and the new IAWTV Awards will be coming up later in the year, which will be well worth following closely. After all the discussion, changes and community growth over the last 12 months, people will be waiting to see what happens.
Felicia Day and Kim Evey have long been hinting about new projects they are doing and Felicia teased some more this morning:
Maybe next year there will be even more nominations heading her way....
What other Awards are you looking forward to?
Thanks for all the awesome words about our show and awards. Glad we've introduced you to new shows. it's all about sharing all the talent in the space with new viewers! You're the best.
ReplyDeleteHaving a weekly show dedicated to web shows is awesome and fills a real need. Great to see the awards too - can't wait to see the winners!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for including us in that mention. :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to leave Browncoats: Redemption off the list - it is a fantastic way to harness the creativity, passion and generosity of people while raising money for worthwhile charities.
