Channel Frederator Blog

I’ll tell you what, folks, this is a nail-biter! Every day I come in and check our votes at the Channel Frederator Awards site, and I’ve got to be honest with you, it is intense! So many of our categories are running neck and neck for a winner. This morning, two films vying for a top spot were holding onto the exact same percentage of votes. That’s how close it is!
So remember that your vote really does count.
This is our last week of voting, so filmmakers and fans, get the word out! With every category running neck and neck, those five friends that you send to www.ChannelFrederatorAwards.com can really make a difference. Voting ends on Sunday 5/4 at 3pm Eastern Time, so vote daily and get us some winners! - Carrie

Our seventh Category is Funniest Film.

Fellas.
We all know the way to score with the ladies is to make them laugh.

Seriously.

Get them so hysterical they’re snorting milk from their noses and they’ll be like Silly Putty in your hands – stretchable, bouncable, and able to make perfect transfers of the Sunday funnies.

And, if you’re clueless when it comes to comedy, you might want to begin with these three funny nominees.

You’ll thank us later. [Read more…]

Our fifth Category is Best Traditional Film.

You may know that Webster’s Dictionary defines “traditional” as “of or pertaining to tradition.”
What you may not know is the word “Webster” is a generic and copyright-free term that anyone may legally apply to his own dictionary.
For example, we could publish our own Channel Frederator-Webster’s Dictionary, if we were so inclined, and there’s nothing you, Uncle Sam, or those suckas at Merriam-Webster can do about it!

Our second Category is Best Music Video.

Betcha didn’t know that Fred wanted to be a scientist before he became a bonafide cartoon hit-maker!
He had us all in labcoats conducting a bunch of scientific research, tests and experiments to discover the DNA that makes up the “perfect” music video.

The prognosis looks good.

Here are our findings:
A) If it’s got a song, you can’t go wrong.
B) Go take a chance, cause folks love to dance.
C) You don’t need to cut to the beat to make the film a bona fide treat.
D) Give it a tune, the major record labels will be calling soon.
E) If you want a video [Read more…]
