A new Emmy award for small screen entertainment
posted Nov 11th 2005 7:00AM
The New York Times has the scoop on an upcoming Emmy Award category for original video content that's targeted at computers and mobile devices such as cellphones and of course, the iPod with video. There were 136 Emmy categories last year, whose titles seem to delve into the increasingly obscure, but this one seems to have some promise since we're seeing a definite surge in the content aimed at our tiny screens. Pixar, Fox, MTV, and Warner Brothers all have shows and shorts in the works, and the other day we made a way rad skate video at a QVGA resolution, so we're hoping that will make the nomination list and spice up the proceedings. (Peter totally landed a 180 Boneless over Ryan, we kid you not.) Sadly the new category won't be included in those fancy shmancy prime-time Emmy Awards but the more specialized award shows, starting with the next presentation of Sports TV related Emmys.
wow this is great news for all of the indie producers. We will soon see a lot of the video podcast and short form video stepping their game up.
I vote for Channel Frederator.
where can i see the skate video???
gee, video blogging has been around well before the wonderful new iPod with video...
I refuse to use the term "video podcast" seeing that
such has been around.
I guess now you iPod fans will want the Emmy's name changed to the "iEmmy"..
Cheesy idea from a media dinosaur trying to be seen as being on the cutting edge. This is stupid.
a "180 boneless over ryan"? that sounds so stupid. that early 80's trick won't earn you an emmy.
you dudes skate? cool.
#6-bonelesses are cool, dont forget where it came from sucka
one more reason why the crew at engadget own all.
