'ville!
pretty representative of this year's bunch, methinks. golden ant to brigs, & tidings all round.

doubled up winners (woodkid, tyler, najork) are kindofa missed opportunity - p'haps avoidable next time.
         
don't agree with the second part
it's awards, not politics
         
antville knows whats up. nice picks
         
a big thank you to brigs for all the time and work he invested in the awards.
you did a great job!
         
It was James Rose at Cut & Run who edited Metronomy, not James Rosen at Final Cut

tom: so the mill's mistake(n)
         
Yes they are, it was James Rose.
         
the winners list correlates with what ive nominated so i guess thats fine
kudos to the winners and everyone involved

(this leaves progosk out, bien évidemment)
         
I've sent some notes out. If anyone wants me to contact the winners, let me know.
         
Okay I'm contacting the winners..
         
So flattered to win an award. Thanks so much for the guys who organize these awards. (Except for ours) These really are the most spectacular videos that came out this year. Crowd sourcing works!

Also, in a world of back patting, antville is one of the only places where people are mean enough to make fun of us. It's keeps us pushing to make better stuff. Thanks haters. Seriously.

-DANIELS
         
Tanks Antville! I'm glad people dug the video I did with the crotchfaces and the jizz. I did it for you.

Congrats to the other nominees & winners. Megaforce's Is Tropical "The Greeks" is my pick for best video of the year. Good job, everyone! On to 2012.

-Keith.

Also: when is "The 'ville" going to Beta mode?
         
:)
         
wish i had an answer for you, keith (& all) - while we're on the subject: is there a feedburner expert out there? antville.org has its own rather obscure codebase, and currently noone's around to lend a coding hand...
         
DOUBLE THANKS!
As a long-time denizen of this site, I definitely set out with the hope of making something Antville would like. In such an open and critical forum, that's not an easy goal. I have my work cut out for me trying to live up to these honors.

-Eric
         
Super choices Antville, congratulations to all of you!
With music video budgets being super low for most of the young directors I know, a lot of the satisfaction comes from reading what you all think, even if it is prone to being hate, at least it comes from a passionate position. Response is everything. More comments on videos please!
         
Thank you so much guys, we are really happy to be here another time between all this fucking good videos (Cheers Keith).

See you in 2012 to continue the music video dynasty, folks!

The Megaboys.
