Zero Punctuation Nominated For Streamy Award



The Escapist's own Zero Punctuation is nominated for a 2010 Streamy Award for Best Animated Web Series.

The Streamy Award nominations for 2010 here [http://www.streamys.org/].

"I'm truly impressed with the outstanding quality of this year's Streamy nominees," said IAWTV Chairman, Michael Wayne. "It's a testament to how far the online video industry has come and a great predictor of where we're headed."

The Streamy Awards began last year with a bang. The Awards Ceremony held on April 11, 2009 at the Henry Fonda Theater in L.A. was a star-studded affair complete red carpet. Actual Hollywood names attended including Neil Patrick Harris, Lisa Kudrow, Rosario Dawson, and Joss Whedon, but that was because they were nominated for excellence for their respective shows. In 2009, The Guild won for best comedic web series and Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog nabbed quite a few Streamys including Best Directing, Writing and Best Male Actor, the incredible NPH. Zero Punctuation was also nominated last year for Best Animation in a Web Series but lost to The Meth Minute 39.

In the Best Animated Web Series category Zero Punctuation is up against Eli's Dirty Jokes, Happy Tree Friends, Homestar Runner, How It Should Have Ended.

Here's hoping Yahtzee takes home a Streamy this year. Think he'll pull a Sally Field and cry [http://www.youtube.com/watch#!videos=dU-KkcIjIKQ&v=9PBQ0BAEgHU] during his acceptance speech? "You like me! You really like me!"

He's more likely to pull a Gollum...

As much as I think that this is awesome for Yahtzee, I lost all hope for this when I saw they nominated Buckley for something. Best Host I think. Dear lord no. Also, no NC or Linkara either. Nostalgia Critic is a movie review series and Atop the Fourth Wall is comic book review series ...

I'm slightly curious as to why Homestar Runner has been nominated because, much to my disappointment, there haven't released a video since November I think.

Well, I actually hope he wins. He's provided hours of procrastination for me.... Maybe that means he should loose? hmmm...

EDIT: I just noticed that University of Andy has been nominated for best companion web series. I love University of Andy. Currently working towards my masters! I'm majoring in Bear Attacks and Threesomes. That man is my hero.

Wooo go Yahtzee, we're all behind you! You smarmy git who gets paid for doing fun things and we'd all like to secretly assassinate and steal your hat.

:D

... Hope you win!

ZP is good enough to win, the overall quality of the "reviews" has never dropped, so I believe he deserves it (even though that would probably mean he'd skip one espisode!).

Wow.

On topic, I hope, if he wins, he does his acceptance speech in ZP format.

Sure hope he's gonna win, but that doesn't stop me from asking just one question: WHY THE HELL ISN'T DOOMSDAY ARCADE NOMINATED FOR ANYTHING?

I dunno, no offense to Yahtzee but I kind of think Homestar Runner should win. They've been providing the internet with top-notch comedy since before web videos even became well known. I think they deserve something for their work.
