Adam Phillips has donated his Best of November winnings to the other four winners in the movie category!
What a babe.
1) What should we call the trophy? The Tankies? The Shermans? Be creative...
Tankies sound nice. Then again, I have the creativity of a walrus... whether their creative or not.
2) Should the song of the year be required to be featured in a game or movie (like the Oscars)? This would encourage more collaboration on big projects.
Hell no. So much quality work slips past due to the extreme abandonment of the audio portal. Sure it has a large user base, but nothing in comparison to the flash works.
3) What nominations would you like to make for each of the above categories? These will all be taken under advisement.
1. Movie of the Year
I needn't say more... Waterlollies. Adam has once again killed all hopes of all small time animators in comparison to his work. Besides Waterlollies my other votes are:
- Dad's at Work
- The Composer
- Aladin 3150
- What Is Love
2. Game of the Year - Programming
My Votes:
- NegativeOne/Newgrounds Rumble
- Hen7/Portal: The Flash Version
3. Game of the Year - Art
My Votes:
- Jmbt02: Dark Cut
- SuperFlashBrothers: Detective Grimiore
4. Song of the Year (from Audio Portal)
Well, I haven't been to into the audio portal this year to admit it. Though I'd like to see DJ-Nate take something out. His music is like orgasms to the ears.
5. Leadership Award
Toughie. There's been so much contribution. But really in the end I can't see anyone bar Luis winning it. Collaberation after collaberation, countless help and wonderful contributions to the portal. He's done alot for the community, not only on the website, but real life practices.
These awards are going to be big. They'll differ the best of the best. I do have some little suggestions for them though.
It would be nice for a small award to go next to the winning submissions. Each year 52 people can brag about getting weekly first... but in the end only 3 can brag about having the Best Game Art, Best Game Programming and/or Best Movie Award. A nice little plaque on each submissions page would be great and would further lengthen the E-Penors of the winners.
Also, the awards should be awarded with style. A short animation, film clip etc would definately beat a news post. Personally I don't know how it woud work... but if it could, damn that would be good.
I'm really looking forward to watching how this unfolds. Making these awards are a real reach into Newgrounds future, it allows us to honor the best work to grace this site.
And I sound like a total faggot.
