It'd be nice to see them pop on and say "Here you go!"Otohiko wrote: Well, what's keeping me on my toes is that there doesn't seem to have been much activity on the part of AD or Phade today - so I'm holding my breath to see if either of them suddenly appears on the horizon...
My predictions mostly lie with the "big fish", whereas in a good half of the cases I'm actually cheering for the "little guy"; so I'm cautiously optimistic at most.
I think Whisper of the Beast will make quite a splash. I don't know if it'll get "the big one" here, but I can see it winning more than one for sure.
I do expect some personal disappointments in the less-mainstream categories though. And I'll be kinda sad one way or another for "Horror/Terror", because I've been split on it to the very end; and as much as I'd love Requiem for a Nightmare to get a VCA, I'd also very much like for Fynjy's awesome and awesomely-underrated work to be properly honored. And both of them have nominations in that category only... So I hope that at least one of them gets it.
I'm also rather split myself- a lot of the time I suspect I'm cheering for the little guy, though it's hard to judge because I'm not really immersed in the AMV scene- so much of it happens at the US cons. ><;;
Plus, so many vids were hard to judge for me. I was really caught between Greed vs Envy and Football for Humor, as well as all the Dramatic category entrants. I can't tell how many times I changed my mind...
I really hope Pianos gets recognized for Secret Waltz. That video just breaks me every time I watch it.
Hardest vote wise was probably the Dance category for me, because I a) was in it and din't want to vote for myself, and b) I'm not overly fond of MEPs as dance videos. *shrugs* But it's been talked to death in the Dacne thread anyway.
I really love how many videos I got to watch because of that that I would have otherwise missed. Kudos to EVERYONE.
