• Triss: A group of us from the LARP society I'm part of decided to put on a role-playing convention, catering to roleplayers of all types from tabletop to LARP, so we got in a whole load of traders and people promoting their groups and stuff. There's quite a big, active RP community in the north-east, so we thought we'd tap into that. So 'Nerd East' was born!

[Nick]

People all over the place are giving out awards...and I think we should too. So, I've gone to the liberty of making my own, exceedingly low budget award cermony: it's very theraputic, I recommend it, even if like me you have the memory of an amnesic goldfish...

So, for the first time!
The Pointless Awards by Nick!

Television Awards
Best New Drama:Heroes - nice obvious one to start on.
Best New Light Entertainment Drama: Kingdom - Stephen Fry wanders around as a lawyer plagued by his sister, intern and missing brother
Best Returning Drama: Doctor Who - Yep, I'm biased as anything but hey!
Best New Actor: Masi Oka - a tight battle but Masi wins it for creating two very different personas.
2nd Best New Actor: Milo Ventimiglia - Yeah well...Pathology looks good.
Best New Actress: Hayden Panetterre - I think I've spelt her name wrong but she's the queen of pretending bits of her are broken.
2nd Best New Actress: Freema Agyeman - for crying as early as episode two, and for having the guts to step ino Billie Piper's shoes.
Best Returning Actor: David Tennant - David also get's a "Well Done On Actually Being A Real Person" award for calling up Virgin radio from time to time and brightening the morning banter
Best Returning Actress: Ashley Jenson - Still good in Ugly Betty and for making me cry in the Extras Christmas Special.
Writer of the Year: Stephen Moffat - for Blink
Creator of the Year: Tim Cring - for Heroes
Book Adapt of the Year: Cranford
New Channel of the Year: Dave - Nuff said...
Retro TV Find of the Year: Whose Line Is It Anyway - you really need to see it...
Unexpected Supporting Role of the Year: Malcolm McDowell turning up as Mr Linderman
Best Show Presented by Three Middle-aged-ish Men: Top Gear - They were getting SOMETHING!

Film Awards
Film of the Year: Hot Fuzz - Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost teamed up again...and lo, it was good!
Most Anticipated Film of the Year: Pirates 3
Trashy Horror of the Year: 28 Weeks Later - a helicopter...some zombies...Hmmmm....
Comedy/Family(ish!) Drama of the Year:Run Fat Boy Run - For good use of music, and for having Dylan Moran.
Couldn't Live Up To Expectations: The Simpson's Movie - still good but...meh...
Biggest Waste of a Cinema Visit: The Reaping - just...no...

Music Awards
Best New Band: The Hoosiers - saw them live at Belladrum, and the 'Goodbye Mister A' arrived to make me dance even when I didn't really want to...
2nd Best New Band: The Fratellis - when you even sing the intro...you know you've heard it often.
Best New Solo Female: Amy McDonald - I don't know why, but I like her.
Best New Solo Male: Newton Faulkner - OK, so I only really know one of his songs, but that hair desreves an award!
Best Returning Band: The Killers - a controversial choice, but having grown up to more complicated and sophisted poetry and musical form, I think they deserve it. If they shave Flowers...for Heaven's sake man, you look like a catepiller has become attached to you...
2nd Best Returning Band: MCR - Yup, take a bow, the Black Parade is pretty damned impressive
3rd Best Returning Band: Kaiser Chiefs - OK, so Ruby was a bit of a let down, but susequently Angry Mob and Everything is Average Nowadays have put the Chiefs back up.
Best Returning Solo Female: KT Tunstall - not just for the ongs, but also for being hilarious on Never Mind the Buzzcocks ("Eugh! That was Hairgel!")
Best Returning Solo Male: Um....well, I can only think of one...damn...James Blunt - still, he was quite funny on Top Gear...
Should have been Annoying but Wasn't: Amy Winehouse - she should have driven me mad but for some reason the songs were just enchanting...
Irritatingly Unannoying Comeback: Take That - I was always a bit of a Boyzone girl meself, but irritatingly, Take That have come back and done good, especially Shine
Irritatingly Annoying comeback: The Spice Girls - I should celebrate, but somehow it feels hollow...
Radio Station of the Year: Virgin
Presenter of the Year: A TIE! Between Christian O'Connel off The Christian O'Connel Breakfast Show and Geoff Lloyd off The Geoff Show.
Live Show Of the Year: The Sundowe - well, it had to get something!
Band Who I Knew Of Before They Were Famous And Are Happy For: Scouting for Girls
Band Who Should Get Big in 2008: Popup

Now, I do proclaim, go forth and write your own...after all, I have no memory of say...June and also have very biased views.
