Emmy Awards for Mobile Phone Content
Dekortage writes "The New York Times discusses the new Emmy category 'for outstanding original programming for computers, cellphones and other hand-held devices, including the video iPod.' The nominees include 24: Conspiracy, Sophie Chase, and It's JerryTime!." From the article: "... lesser-known video creators are getting recognition as well. These include 'Sophie Chase,' an online series based on an attractive detective; 'Stranger Adventures,' a weekly interactive game where participants get e-mail messages and watch live-action video to help solve a puzzle; and 'It's JerryTime!,' created by two brothers from Massachusetts, Orrin and Jerry Zucker."
Checked out Jerrytime - i hope the karate date episode was one of the worst, because it was not good - is it meant to be funny?
And that chick in Sophie Chase wasn't very hot.
sheesh. If this is the level, maybe I should be producing something - and nobody wants to see that.
I hope that really isn't the title of the award. A) It's a mouthful and B) I think it's safe to say Apple doesn't need to get billing while other don't. Of course this is more a technical award, so you're not going to get to see it during the main Emmy telecast -- this will be relegated to that 3-minute clip they show about halfway through where they show all the geeks getting their awards at a banquet where some B-list star is roped into emceeing and handing out the awards. Of course it's usually a fairly good-looking female B-list star, but hey, better than nothing if you're a geek.

... but can they include the category for best torrent of a tv show?
'Nuff said.
Rooster Teeth Productions has already made a huge splash in the independent film scene and has a lot of people taking machinima seriously because of the success of RvB. It's funny, is loaded with satire and tongue-in-cheek social commentary, and very, very original. Not to mention they sustain a volume of production that makes it more than just a short film.
120 characters for a sig? That's bloody useless.
outstanding original programming for computers
So, does my recent DDoS of Wikipedia count?
Don't suppose you can get the BBC's TARDISODES down to US phones? At least you can watch them on the web. Each one acts as a sort of prequel to each week's new Doctor who episode.

So what's the best engine to use? Or should we wait for Unreal 3.0?
Looks like piece of shit.
'for outstanding original programming for computers, cellphones and other hand-held devices, including the video iPod.'
This can be video, flash, games, presentations, quizes...and that's just on the pc! This is just insane...Oblivion should have won the emmy for computer game, had this catagory existed. But now I fear teh catagory is so overly broad that it will become a bought-and-paid-for advertising emmy.
'Oh, we want to hype and PR this [insert product]...let's buy it the 'whatever as long as it's digital' emmy'.
-- Waht? Tehr's a preveiw buottn?
"Of course it's usually a fairly good-looking female B-list star, but hey, better than nothing if you're a geek."
A room full of geeks lends new meaning to the phrase: "Reach for the stars".
agreed. but RvB might not be eligible, since it isn't "original" programming. lame, but that sort of crap happens a lot.
seriously Tikibar tv is by far the best podcast on the net.

We sure needed to hand out awards for that sort of imaginative use of a new medium. Without an Emmy, how would it get any recognition? I ask you.

So are these awards going to be called the 'Phonies'?
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
Fantastic, I love how cell phone makers create these fantastic fast cell phone data networks but instead of offering cheap wireless broadband they push proprietary expensive and stupid downloads that nobody wants.
This award is just a Daytime Emmy. More specifically, it will be given out at the "Creative Arts" Daytime Emmy awards ceremony. This is like getting an Oscar nomination... in the Scientific and Technical awards. Which no one watches. And no one outside of the Scientific and Technical award nominee community pays much attention to.
Oh, and for the record, the award is officially "for Outstanding Original Programming Created for Non-Traditional Delivery Platforms."
[Insert joke here]
...'The-most-senior-media-executive-to-realise-tha t-watching-movies-on-a-2"-screen is-stupid-stupid-stupid' (the 'wake up and smell the coffee') award is held over until next year as no nominees have been put forward.
