It started with one, and it will only get better.

Rob is Jarig for breakthrough performance is the only thing that can save the next Scene.org awards.

the whole scene.org award is about subjective opinions, not just the "best soundtrack 2007" award. it's not a race where you can measure who is the fastest or who has the biggest dick. it's more like who is the biggest dick.

there's a certain point in this kind of subjective-objective-reasoning where it becomes just wanking. if you _really_ think average joe is equally capable of evaluating a musical piece, it's musical value, as someone who has been playing and/or studying music for years, then fine - be a wanker. you might be right, but you're still a wanker.

yes, I'm also drunk.

What did okkie said some posts ago?
ah yeah, now I remember :)

Tempest, that's why there is this thing called "jury", supposedly not made up of Average-Joes, whose opinions are considered valueable by the organization promoting the awards.

Of course no one will ever be able to measure how good a tune is, and that's very cool so I can still argue with my friends about me being a decent musician and them having shitty musical tastes ;)

it's about being the next michael jackson, or trying.

dixan: I thought the jury was all about being able to drink champagne... :(

what ShanetheGhost said. Evoid Droid is a clear winner for me also.

Command Cyborg, can you please stop making fun of Special Olympics. I guess you don't have a clue what the athletes feel when they participate.

beertime x, hands down.

chromag: I'm not making fun. No photoshop, they actually look like that!! o_O

CC/Doom: If pouet postings are anything to judge personality by (and to some extent they are), it kind of figures that you choose to pick on people with Downs. Still, it every time I come across one of your posts I'm saddened by the fact that a moron such as you can make such nice demos. Guess there is no justice.

Back on topic: Evoid Droid is really really nice!

That last picture was actually not of people with Downs syndrome at all! Look closely, and you'll see those are actually sceners gathering for a circle jerk.

What saddens me is the fact that I have to spell it out: I'm making fun of the scene.org awards, not the Special Olympics. Of course, if you think associating the Special Olympics with scene.org awards adds up to making fun of the handicapped.. well.. my apologies to them..

But really, EVERY one of my posts makes me look like a moron to you? Wow. Fuckings to you.

what is actually wrong with the scene.org awards? i mean, apart from people personally not agreeing with what won. i often dont agree with what actually won either, but when i hear what some other people wanted to win it makes me happy what did win won, if you know what i mean.
so what is it? is it the actual concept of having an award ceremony for the scene? is it the way it's voted for?

smash: nothing.

Doom is just bitter that IRIS gets beaten around by TBL the whole time :D

And there is nothing wrong with the Scene.org awards, as long as it doesn't become as pretentiously boring as the Oscar's or the EMA's or something.

But this year was a good improvement on last year, so I see nothing wrong with anything. Whiners should just shut the fuck and make something better!!!

(I'm really pushing it now, right? :))

As long as the scene.org awards are done with passion, and following the spirit of what they were created for, there's not going to be anything wrong with them. However there's always going to be haters, and complainers.. Nothing to lose sleep over.

I am one IRIS'er, who actually enjoys the scene.org awards - despite how questionable and independent they may be. I'm pretty sure that vast amounts of people will chuckle at me and dismiss me as being outright naïve, but I honestly believe that the scene.org jury tries to be as impartial and fair as possible.

Now, I first attended Breakpoint in 2006 and was quite amused by the awards show that I had not witnessed let alone even heard of before (yes, I lived in a black hole for a few years prior to that).

However, this does not change the fact that you COULD do some modifications and perhaps adjust some things that people criticise the most. Personally, I think the entire show was a bit too long, but the productions are more or less spot on, I think. I, personally, am usually not thinking "OMFG! How could THIS and THIS production not be in the scene.org awards??? Have they NO contact with the scene in general?", but actually discovered some nice prods that way, which I probably wouldn't have stumbled upon until years later.

In general, I think the "scene.org awards hint-hint - the pouet users reeeeaaaally like this one and recommend for it to be part of the nominations next year"-functionality that ps introduced here lately could come in handy for the jury - not as a "must have", but more of a "have you given these production much thought?" kind of assistance tool.

More good ideas like that, please - that would all help make the scene.org awards an even better event.

smash: Most award ceremonies are circle jerks. But it only gets really ridiculous when the awarders and the awardees are all from the same more or less closed group of fifty or so people, and few people outside that group really care. Maybe it all seems different if you're in the group, but from the outside it just looks, well, "special". It's like a live-action diskmag.

Also there are way too many categories, and they do nothing to try and escape the foolish joining mentality of the rest of the scene. Rather, they refine it and turn it into a stage show.

As for TBL beating us at the scene.org awards, that's not true, cause we were never nominated. We don't have that mainstream appeal. If we ever do win a scene.org award, I'll happily donate it to TBLs collection. And apparently, Nutman will try to stop me. He will fail.

funny how your description of the awards could just as well be attached to a description of the whole scene.

knos: well, now we have demotrip.blogger.com \o/
