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."
The Star Wars kid!
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
... 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.
That's the NY Times for you. They (as part of the mainstream media) don't understand that other media players exist than the iPod.

Apparently she's Angelina Jolie's body double. And for the "OMTWTFG THEIR ARE OTHER MEDIA PLAYERS BESIDES TEH IPOD!!!!" crowd, her website refers to the award as the "New Media Emmy Award". And who are you to doubt Angelina Jolie's body double?
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
'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?
