Hollywood Brass and YouTube Strivers Split the Streamys

by Melissa Roth

April 12, 2010, 6:08 PM

In the end, the Streamys—which we previewed this weekend—were a draw, with the studios and the independents each taking home major awards, and seasoned Hollywood talent splitting the spoils with the YouTube “kids.”

Sony’s online studio ended up taking best drama for its slick series “The Bannen Way” (above), though chief rival “Compulsions” did manage to squeeze out a best writing award. And there just wasn’t enough James Cameron-worthy resentment to topple the bearded force that is Zach Galifianikis, who won best male actor in a comedy series and best comedy series for his FunnyorDie interview show, "Between Two Ferns"—even though he was a no-show at the ceremony. As for Illeana Douglas, her series won an award for best ensemble cast, but it was the young, plucky internet phenom Felicia Day, creator and star of “The Guild,” who beat out veteran talents including Douglas, Lisa Kudrow, and Justine Bateman for best actress. Day had no success in Hollywood before her web series took off, getting rejected repeatedly by casting directors and producers.

Interesting Interacitve Children’s Book – Not so great Trailer
I really like the look of the trailer and the interactive story book of “The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My” with the original illustrations and story by Tove Jansson but the Voice Over on the trailer needs a little work. In the enhanced book there are hidden interactions on each page. You can [...]
