The Streamy Awards 2010 was this Sunday and as of this writing, it has yet to end. I've never seen a Streamy Award show, but if this is how we are going to celebrate the people responsible for the web's creative video content, we are in big trouble! This award show sucks. It's freaking long and they really need to be original with the format because it looks like every other freaking award show on TV except everything looks cheaper and smaller. They need to cut the cheese, genitalia jokes, lame jokes, and musical groups from outer space. I always thought the majority of the web video viewers were little kids, yet the Streamy's had presenters talking about balls (not the basketball type). They're celebrating the creative web works of non-mainstream-celebrities, but almost every other presenters were from has-been mainstream TV shows/film including Steve Urkel, the dead Buy-More guy from "
Chuck", Freddy Kruger, and the brother from "
Married with Children" (yes, he's still alive). Every award category introduction has a skit and they're dumb and seem like 10 minutes long.
As for the technical production quality, they need to normalize the audio, as the volume was either way too loud or way too low. The nominees video presentations’ volume would occasionally be low and then go way up when presenters and host speaks close into the microphones. The video occasionally drops even though my 5mb + connection never dropped frames in YouTube or other video sites. The echo voices and repeating voices were freaking annoying!
In a nutshell, the Streamy Awards 2010 was unimpressive. Kevin Pollak had the best line in the show when he said something like "
This is the best rehearsal award show!".
WTF Indeed. I've never blogged so hard and so fast @ how much suckage tonight's show was. Audio fail from the beginning, the operation was sub amatuer. Don't fucking do this again next year. Us fanboys are angry.
