The Streamy Awards: Web video gets its very own Emmy ceremony
Last night marked the ceremony for the first annual Streamy Awards, a ceremony designed to throw some recognition at the hotter-by-the-minute trend of web television. Personally, I’m ecstatic that web video is becoming ever more popular, I’m pleased that someone is trying to award people for excellence in this medium and I absolutely love that I got to see people like Joss Whedon, Felicia Day and Jane Espenson make acceptance speeches on a stage in front of a crowd of people. These things are all cool and worth recognizing. However, the more I looked at how the Streamys were implemented and the structure they chose to take, the more unsettled I was.
