I need to come back and do some more of the technical awards in the next few days. My post-holiday brain needs some re-charging. As always, your thoughts are welcome and just leave them in the comments!

It’s Saturday morning, I’m down in San Diego for my High School Drama Club Reunion (I didn’t go to my 10 year reunion because I didn’t know a lot of people in my class…this is a group that is going to span about 8 years…the four years I was there and then the four years my younger sister was there). I just ate some delicious homemade pancakes that my Mom made, I’m sippin’ on a pipping hot cup of coffee brewed by my Dad…it’s time to get down to business.

You probably notice I don’t submit for all categories. I don’t want to do nominations I’m not educated in and I don’t know a lot of details about things like sound design and visual effects. I try to learn more and I’ve been watching things lately and trying to focus on those more technical details, so I made me adding some noms in these categories in later rounds.

I also realize that my education on web series is very comedy heavy. In categories like Best Drama, Best Reality or Documentary, and Best News and Politics, I don’t have as many favorites. If you have suggestions in these areas, I would love to check them out: just leave them in the comments for me.

The second annual Streamy Awards are coming up on April 11, 2010…that may sound far, far away but Tubefilter and NewTeeVee are already hard at work putting the show together, which from what little I know as a freelance writer for Tubefilter, is going to be the shindig to end all shindigs.

The Streamy Award nomination process is open to the public for 35 of the show’s awards. You can nominate once a day until January 15th. I personally have so many web favorites in every category that I could probably nominate someone different every single day. In fact, I’m going to try to do as many nominations as possible but unfortunately, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to take the amount of time I want to take when considering my nominations.

It is also important to me that my nominations be public. I want the fantastic creators/actors/writers/etc to get the chance to see the recognition I think they deserve from their peers. There is an option on the Streamys website that links to your Twitter account so you can send out a Tweet with each of your nominations…this system caused a bit of a stir, especially when I used it for my first set of nominations and basically flooded my followers accounts (SORRY!). So from now on, I’ll make a post to correspond with my rounds of nominations.

I submitted the following nominations on December 17th:

-MacAwesome for Best Comedy Web Series
-Compulsions for Best Drama Web Series
-Days of the Living Dead for Best Reality or Documentary Web Series
-Auto-Tune the News for Best News or Politics Web Series
