captainmarc22: will you be kind and do the same great gfx you did last year when the time comes to post the nominees? Here's my email: mvflux at gmail dot com. Thanks

         

jesse.ewles: as a full member of Antville you should nominate your preferences in each category. Otherwise we won't be able to consider your suggestions. See what the other guys did and what is written in the post: three nominations for each category you wish to submit.

         

almotasim - wasn't me.

         

Sorry, cap, i misread "dig" for "did" on the comment you published last year about the gfx. :-)

         

By the way: the date of the post (that makes it stick to the top of the blog page) induced me to think that the nominations will be closing today but they will tomorrow. Sorry about that.

         

allow more time for nominations, its only few people who have cast their votes in

         

I will do that, no problem. Say up until wednesday?

Might be a bit late, but still 'fraid I'm with Captainmarc on this! Nothing naming Lee Bo Young as the director in RS interview The Discogs reference is the only reference on the entire net as far as I can see

This claim seems quite confusing, the only Lee Bo Young it could be is YG Family's casting manager, (she is also one of Big Bang's managers) but such a position, she occupies in the YG organisation would make her an unlikey director. As Marc has pointed out, the more famous Lee Bo is an actress, who I'd a the thought, had she directed the clip which has hit 1 billion views, would have generated more reference to it, in the many stories that appear in Korean papers, about her latest drama ‘My Daughter Seoyoung’ or other career projections. No sighting of Lee Bo, in this making clip. No mention of any directing Lee Bo has done could I find either! Psy wrote and co-produced the song and co-directed the video according to Billboard

         

robodrug: not late at all. I do remember reading on a RS interview the reference to a Lee Bo-Young as a director. But since i don't have the magazine with me to check, I guess it's safer (for now) to name Psy the director.

Nevertheless, it's quite amazing that the name of the director of the most watched video of all time is still nowadays something hard to find or check on the Web. That says a lot about the days we are living.

         

Certainly is mate, considering the video has won four international awards!
