FIRST ANNUAL SCUMMIES (2003)

[jeep]

Isn't that what the Johnny Cochran award is? He had a cop find him guilty and managed to live for a bit despite that.

I didnt know this thread was here!?! Well, anyways heres my extremely belated speech

Thank You, Thank You

I'd like to thank all the people who made this possible, and especially my fellow nominee, bunsofsteel. ummm yeah thats all I got, but i'm sure no one wi;ll read this because everyones already gone

[PopsicleStix]

Is there going to be a second anual scummies? I think that would be cool...

[blackhawk]

There has to be if theres a first

annual

(thats the keyword!) scummies

[PopsicleStix]

Well yeah, but shouldn't somone (maybe CUBAN SMOKER) start the new one.

[blackhawk]

Not until next year

[Wacky]

It is 2004.... isn't it?

By the time they figure out who to give the scummies to it will be next year anyway.

[blackhawk]

Yeah, but we cant do the 2004 scummies until 2005, because we havent gotten completely through 2004 yet

[mathcam]

I think waiting for Cuban Smoker would be a bad idea.... (see MUNSCUM)

Cam

[blackhawk]

Yeah, we should nominate a new person to host the Scummies this year, maybe we should have Gary Shandling(sp?) or Steve Martin, it would have to be someone with experience on the board

[Guest]

I nominate Ellen Degeneres, or Elvira Kurt.

[mathcam]

Phoebus is a good organizer....

Cam

[rite]

Phoebus is a good organizer....

Cam

Seconded

[spork76]

thirdeded

[Save The Dragons]

Me wants to see some scummies.

Pheobus = cool person.

Yeah.

[Phoebus]

Now if only you could spell my name right, you'd get more cool points!

Hmm. This is a surprise...?

In any case, I won't mind doing the next edition but we do have to wait till january regardless I should think...

[mathcam]

The start of the scummies idea (I looked at the old nomination thread) was started early December. I don't think it would be a bad idea to start earlier, though late September is probably stretching it a little.

[Phoebus]

Nominations - end november
Selection of Jury - mid december
Setting up of forums/threads - end december
Voting - January

If I am indeed to be the "host" would it be possible to get me access to the Scummie forums? We could probably use the same ones but I have a few ideas about procedure. Just wanna see if the something similar was used last year, and if not, set it up...

[mole]

This time I think it'd be better to split the "Best Performance" award into "Best Town" and "Best Mafia". It doesn't really make sense to me to have a separate SK award and then lump absolutely everything else into the same category.

[jeep]

Well, the Scummies WERE going to be awarded the same night as the

Emmies

Oscars... So you might consider scheduling based on that.

-JEEP

Edit: Here's what we decided at the end of the last round:
"I guess this will be yearly. Jan starts official nominations? Then start judging some time in May?"

Note that the ?s are still there... heh. I would go with that, though.

(See it says Oscars and not Emmies...)

[Phoebus]

Emmies = ~ July. Who wants to wait that long?

This thread was posted in April. Do we want to stick the Jan-May schedule?
Personally, I think a nice new year can be celebrated by nice new awards in Jan.

[Phoebus]

With the return of quite a few old hands - any thoughts on "best returning performance"

Also - "best newbie"? This will probably have many winners. But still...
Or "best performance(s) by a newbie". I don't think Rome should be counted here...not many of them make it to the other lists. Performances implying consistency...

[Cubsfan4life]

It might be kind of cool if it could be hosted over the chat with the transcript being posted for all you missed it.

[silgado106]

Why does that remind me of every ORG award?

[Save The Dragons]

Lol...I never really got into the ORG awards...

Maybe I was refering to Pheobus, not you?

I was going to suggest the newbie thing. I am so in the running for stupidest newbie award.
