Hey, Tom. I already won an Oscar for a Flash I made so I'd like that money grandfathered to me, please.

Go ahead and not research my outlandish statement and blindly send me that cash.

Much love,

RSQ

10,000 bucks?
Somebody could win that money off of the attention he/she gets from just winning an Oscar!

It's the only way out!

Yeh but the idea is to give talented artists something to work towards. With 10 000 dollars you could easily independantly distrubute your own Movie and merchandise and make a lot more money off the back of that.

Id love one of those tank trophys, but movie of the year would be impossible unless you made something like waterlollies.
Maybe ill try and get a daily award 1st before I think about that.

I'd agree with you on that one, I don't think that anything short of the standard set in Waterlollies would nearly be sufficient to merit serious consideration. With all due respect to the other authors featured in the top 50, Waterlollies is so far beyond anything else that's done there that it's practically in a category of its own. Granted, I've been hearing good things about someone by the name of Egoraptor, but seeing as I haven't seen his work, I shan't pass comment thereupon just yet. In all seriousness, though, if you were to attempt anything on the magnitude you're suggesting (winning an Oscar), then you're going to need to be putting out that level of work, if not higher. Again, I mean no disrespect to any other authors, especially seeing as various other works are in my favourites, but realism needs to be applied here, I reckon.

This doesn't really seem too far fetched, but it'd have to be something epic, and like, the greatest collab of all time.

To see Newgrounds at the Oscars...

Would make me squeal.

$10 000 :D

99.9% advertising, less than 0.1% merchandising... Although we're working on shifting that, which would be for the good of everyone here. For example, when you watch MGA2 in a pop-up window (currently not the in-page), the text ad beneath it is for the "Awesome" t-shirt, rather than an advertiser who is open to occupying ad space within a "mature" rated submission. It's a better ad, AND it's strengthening the promotion for Egoraptor's work, rather than driving people away from the site.

It's a long hard road, though... Definitely not as easy or as profiteable as it looks, but we're committed to making it work.

what are you talking about! i met my russian bride thnks to this site!

anyway if it means that much to you i have like 50$ saved for a wii so i suppose i could use that to fund newgrounds for a year orso rite? maybe i could sell some gba games and help you guys out a bit ok. or i could promote my myspace so i get loads of friends and id be real popular and stuff.

The thing is, I doubt whether a film submitted purely to newgrounds would be eligible for an oscar.
But what would I know, I'm not a doctor.

Haha wow this seems to be a double win!
Yeah Adam Phillips could most definitely take home an Oscar! If he makes it really serious and dramatic!

But it must be REALLY something incredible work both in the script and the visiuals. I would rather see a 2D animation take home an Oscar then a 3D one.

Wow, that should encourage people enough to make more and better flashes!

10,000 USD?.... Mmm.... Money...

Only the best of the best will have that good chances to get an oscar though,
there should be more oscar awards for animations in my opinion anyway.

That probably would be worth $10k, but there are probably some weird legal liabilities we would have to get past. :)

Another candidate I'd suggest is Jason Steele. Seriously, he made two of the most greatest flashes (imo) of all time! The Cloak & Spatula Madness! It's a shame he didn't load 'em up on here tho. Visit his website.

Go here:

Oh, and he's the animator of the legendary Charlie The Unicorn, too. :)
I like the ones mentioned before better tho.^^

I don't think so. Oscar nominated shorts are usually shorts that are highly original in concept and style. They are not awarded to the most disney short of the year, but to the most thought provoking short of the year.

And I Met The Walrus (nominated this year for Best Animated Short) is a perfect example. It's not Disney at ALL, and it's so cool to watch. Flash could pull it off. :)
