TVAA Awards 2010
It’s time for 2nd annual The Vids Are Alright Awards! *drumroll*
(Fancy a look at last year’s winners?)
Best Video In Space: Gabriella Cilmi - On A Mission. Runner-up: N-Dubz.
Best Culinary Escapade: Let’s make a sandwich! Runner-up: Mary J Blige heating up some tomato soup.
Best Dancing: Janelle tripping on her tightrope. Runner-up: Ciara - Gimme Dat.
The MIA Award for Services to DO YOU SEE: Nick Jonas - Who I Am. Runner-up: Katy Perry - Firework
Best Dream Sequence: Nelly - Just A Dream (the clue is in the title).
Most Jarring Product Placement: BEP and Keane BOTH plugging Tuborg! What the hell, dudes?
Best Nicki Minaj Moment: Teaming up with Mariah for some post-concussion shopping.
Video Most Likely To Make You Hide Behind The Sofa: Malcolm Lincoln, aka the Estonian Eurovision entry. ARGH.
Biggest Disappointment: Sleigh Bells - Inflammable Guitars.
Feminism RIP Award: Oh Xtina. Runner-up: Ludacris - Sex Room.
Unsatisfying Trend of 2010: this is a toss-up between 8-bit renderings of everything (see Das Racist, Black Eyed Peas) and 1980s-retro-futurism (The Hoosiers/Mark Ronson).
Best Overall Video: DJ Fresh - Gold Dust because I have watched it a grillion times and still break into a big smile when the twins stride out onto the court. It’s good to know that double dutch skipping is still A Thing (RIP Malcolm).
Best old video that I blogged about this year and think is worth linking to again: Have a guess…
Did any of my trend predictions for 2010 come true? Well there were a few military outfits from Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, lots of stupid sunglasses but no more than one pair at a time, and farmyard animals were somewhat thin on the ground. 2011 predictions to come in a later post, as I’m off out for a fry-up now.
