Ok, folks, even fans of the Gregory Brothers and their brilliant Auto-Tune The News may not have seen this, the most brilliant awards acceptance speech ever, at the 2010 Streamy Awards:
They won for Best News or Politics Web Series, beating Rocketboom, the Young Turks, VBS News, and The Tomorrow Show with Mo Rocca.
They also won for Best Experimental Web Series, beating Green Porno, HBO Cube, INST MSGS, and Level 26.
They ALSO won for Best Original Music in a Web Series, beating Horrible Turn, Key of Awesome, Sparhusen, and The Coat.
The show was held at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, California, on April 11, 2010.
And incidentally – that was the “Second Annual Streamy Awards”, in 2010. According to the Streamys website, the first show was in 2009.
But the third show hasn’t happened yet, so apparently – no such show in 2011. And it looks like it won’t happen in 2012 either, the third show looks like it’s scheduled for February 17, 2013.
And for any aspiring YouTubers or other streaming content creators out there, it looks like they’re still accepting entries for award submissions.
