VMA CATEGORIES...??????
Just though I'd gauge what people are thinking ..borrowing a line from Hassinator...
christ on a bike its got to be better than this...
BEST VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK: "Mark Ecko's Getting Up" — Atari BEST VIDEO GAME SCORE: "Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion" — Jeremy Soule, composer/producer RINGTONE OF THE YEAR: Fort Minor "Where'd You Go"
I think these categories look great next to Cinematographer, Edit and Art Director creds.... Im confused what this has to do with videos??????????????
Give up the VMAs as an accurate mv gauge. Our relationship ends today, unless they don't let the fans vote next time. I browsed thru all the videos added to MTV over the entire year, and think that "overall, looking at all the eligible vids, it's clear how this wasn't a very unifying, star-making, or great year for MTV/popular videos." Not only did they not rotate that many outstanding videos this year, but they let the fans decide. This was the most populist MTV VMAs ever, aka the most watered-down.
It's called convergence. Get used to it.
VMAs need a Salon des Refusé. Agreed?
Can we just give Kev some start-up money and have him launch videos.antville as a cable access show? Progosk could do the countdown show, and Pizzaguy could be Jesse Camp.
I'm waiting for Jonathan Wells (who just left RES) to give me a call so we can try this or this again. One can dream.. ;)
In 1987 I remember the gasps in the audience when Mega Man upset Zelda II for best video game soundtrack award. Such a shocker!
