Video Static posted the nominees to this year's MVPA Awards. That weird Kennedy vid even got nom'd. For Director of the Year: The Malloys, Chris Milk, Sophie Muller, Floria Sigismondi, Marc Webb. Quick instapoll inside.

         

         

I like how Chris Milk got nominated for the Natasha Beddingfiled video he called "a pile of shit".

Did Waverly get shut out completely? Now that's what I call a pile of shit.

         

seems to be a different version of the Natasha Beddingfiled video

         

Waverly got a certificate for perfect attendance.

         

The music video industry is perfectly healthy and in robust condition and everything works best when expensive promos are made with known directors. Nothing to see here, move along....

         

i hate music videos, but love awards shows! today is my lucky day!

         

Let's have our OWN awards!! And have it the same night as the MVPAs!! And not invite any of these guys!! Let's give Dougal Wilson a lifetime achievement award! It can be hosted by progosk!

         

wouldn't want to steal that honour from your host with the most, videoville's own kev.

salad for the comic relief interstitials. and lusk should then do the in-depth new yorker article critiquing the collective hidden agenda.

         

I'll pass. I woulda deleted the poll had I not turned off the computer already.. Also decided I won't be doing a poll for April Faves either.. I thought that March poll might have been interesting, but it wasn't. Here I think I was unintentionally daring to be stupid ;)

         

Everyone with half a brain knows that these awards are ballot box stuffing promotional bullshit. Which makes perfect sense for videos as an industry if you think about it. Having attended more than once, I can safely say that there aren't enough drugs in east oakland to make the ceremony watchable, and the Orpheum theater has very sensitive smoke alarms.

Bully for Milk getting nominated off basically one video though.
