TV Guide Announces Online Award Noms

TV Guide announced today the nominees for its Online Video Awards, with traditional media networks and stars permeating each of the 18 categories. I guess that’s why the magazine isn’t called NewTeeVee Guide.

Just as TV Guide is broadening its online video guide, it could have broadened its horizons a little bit beyond Steve Carrell and Will Ferrell. Thank God for Chad Vader and Lonelygirl, otherwise it would have been a shut-out.

Here are the nominees:

Funniest Web Video (a.k.a LOL Award)

The Landlord (FunnyOrDie)

Dick in a Box (NBC)

The Star-Spangled Banner (JibJab)

Water Boardin’ USA (My Damn Channel)

  • Clark & Michael (ClarkandMichael)
  • Derek & Simon (SuperDeluxe)
