For Your Consideration: The 2010 Streamy Awards
by Ethan Newberry on Dec.21, 2009, under awards, blog, funny videos, improv, the real cool club
So The Real Cool Club just wrapped our first season and we couldn’t be more excstatic. We feel we’ve really pushed the live streaming medium to new heights and limits. Just looking back, we’ve managed to incorporate LIVE green screen, we did a LIVE interactive murder mystery (Thanks Sandeep!), we constantly engage our interactive audiences with challenges and opportunities to work themselves into the show, we did an 80′s sitcom callback episode, drag episode, celebrity guests and so much more. This was just the first season, people!
Now here’s what we’d love: to win a Streamy Award. The Real Cool Club fits into nearly every category that they are listing this year, and we truly feel that with a zero dollar budget we’ve managed to do more than anyone else out there. We have a lot to be proud about. But we’d love some of your help to win an award to bring back to our mantles at the end of the day. It wouldn’t be just The Real Cool Club’s award, it would be OUR award – you included. Obviously the show would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for our fantastic live viewers and fans. We love you.
So here’s the deal, nominations have begun on the Streamy Awards website (Http://Streamys.org) and we’d be honored if you would jump over and vote for The Real Cool Club in as many categories as you see fit. The best part is that you can vote once a day in every category, so keep doing it up until the deadline of January 15th! Okay, here are some categories we’d love to win:
- “Best Hosted Web Series”
- “Best Comedy Web Series”
- “Best Live Production in a Web Series”
- “Best Interactive Experience in a Web Series”
- “Best NEW Web Series”
- “Best Branded Entertainment Web Series”
- “Best Experimental Web Series”
- “Best Web Series Host — Ethan Newberry”
- “Best Art Director — Ethan Newberry”
- “Best Celebrity Appearance in a Web Series — Debra Skelton, The Real Cool Club or Sandeep Parikh, The Real Cool Club or Alan Thicke, The Real Cool Club”
