Grand Prize: "Brian's Song"
What the F...!?! Surely there had to be better videos out there this year... somewhere?
Remember that Grand Prize at AWA always goes to something unusual that comes in outta left field and totally blindsides the judges. Like Lee's Urusei Yatsura video, EK's Failed Experiments, etc.

You don't get much more left field than Brian's Song...

Emo is fake Angst. The Emo vid was a comedy making fun of Emo kids, the Angst vid was actually rather maudlin material.

We kinda warped the meaning a bit on the Angst award, but it just made for such a good award title. "Best Sad" just sounds dumb.

Ok, cause the two sound like one and the same to me.

Though I now like the sound of "The award that makes us feel sad inside"

For the former, I would think that something that's up there with the AMV Hell Trilogy would at least have a little more exposure (bandwidth willing, that is).
Mine (Hellø Fairy) should be up next month. Fall_Child42's (the latter) should be up soon... he had some problems like text outside of the safe zone, and that some editors were missing. ;) :P
I'm glad you liked it.

After the award title screen was shown, a girl behind me said, "What is angest?"

Which is kinda sad, cuz once upon a time, Emo was an honest to goondess genre of music. All those freaking wannabe goth twerps took it an' made it a parody of itself. :evil:

Like Scintilla's "Dueling Videos/Under Ice" video that should have gotten GP two years ago :)

So do the winning videos actually get prizes or is it a strictly bragging rights thing?

Expo winners get certificates, Pro winners get little trophies, and SAST's prize was an hourglass-type award.
