THE FINALISTS

Once again, the Antville hath spoken. The following are the five selected nominees for each category of the official Antville Music Video Awards 2012.

Time to vote, Antvillers! And a Merry Xmas for everybody!

Voting will close at midnight on December 24th.

NOTE: the best way to do this is to cast your vote for the first category and then to click on the back button of your browser to vote on the next one. And so on.

         

almotasim: Is this the final post?

         

Yep. No changes at all. I'm just gonna add some thumbnails of the nominees in it.

         

Thanks for you work, but imo, it miss a lot of good things, Saman Keshavarz, Daniels, Young Replicant, Peter Simonite, Peter Sluszka, Charles De Meyer, Mikey Please, David Lewandowski, Norman Bates, Dan Brown, Skinny...

         

Well, too bad you didn't vote in the nominations call, 120384. This was a lot of work indeed, but it was a sheer pleasure. Antville has given me so much in the last 6 (7?) years that it felt really good to have the opportunity to give some back.

         

Yes, unfortunately, I'm a bit late for the nominations call, I saw it and I could not do it at that time, and after I forgot, my fault. ;)

         

complimentz o' the house, almo - classy work.

         

I would like to thank progosk, kevathens and brigs for all your help during this process: please forgive my dumbness, confusion and silly questions.

         

Emily Kai Bock's name is misspelled in the Best New Director nomination.

         

Thank you for the notice, Kozoru. My bad. I'll make sure it will be corrected when i'll publish the winners and the other nominees list for each category. It's always a bummer to misspell somebody's name.

Great work as usual, almotasim. Thank you. Happy new year.

         

Way to go dudes!

         

Thanks almotasim. And great work, whoever did the logo.

         

You're welcome, otc. The logo was made by a dear and talented friend of mine named Bruno Roda. You can check the full graphic identity treatment here: videos.antville.org

         

Hi guys, the Woodkid -"Lolita Lempicka" isn't an advert for a fragrance ? I don't get why it's here.

         

It's here because it was nominated by antvillers (not me). The same could be said about "Until The Quiet Comes" which is arguably a short film. I think that's the most interesting way to do it though: more important than the purpose of its production, it's the way it was consumed and disseminated and, on both cases, antvillers, fans and other users perceived them as music videos.

         

until the quiet comes is more of a music video than lempika lolita. its a promo video, if you must, it helps sell the album, if not a single.

but lempicka is an ad and should be scrapped off the list

         

Well, personally, and unless there is some kind of uprising of the community, i won't scrap it out of respect of the antvillers who took the decision and the trouble to nominate it.

         

I believe "No Church In The Wild" is the best video of year, but, unfortunately it is not even listed in the nominees.

         

Well, it was nominated for best hip-hop and best cinematography. And it came pretty close to win the last one.
