I could try to give commentary about all the Comedy/Drama nominees, but I don't have the time or energy, so instead, I'll continue my short tradition of posting the contenders for the category of "Outstanding Commercial".
But first, here's last year's winner:
Swear Jar - Bud Light
Hungry Man, Production Company
DDB Chicago, Ad Agency
And now for this year's nominees...
...for Outstanding Commercial
Airport Lounge - Amex/Platinum Card
Hungry Man, Production Company
Ogilvy and Mather, Ad Agency
Alec In Huluwood - Hulu
Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Ad Agency
Even though I'm a big fan of 30 Rock, I just don't find either the Amex or Hulu commercials entertaining in the least bit. It's like watching Baby Mama... kinda painful.
Bottled Courage - Nike
@radical media, Production Company
Wieden & Kennedy, Ad Agency
I know that song! "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers. It really is inspirational.
Circus - Anheuser-Busch Budweiser
DDB Chicago, Ad Company
PYTKA, Production Agency
I find any of the beer commercials with the horses to be very hokey. Like watching America's Funniest Home Videos where they make up commentary for pets.
Heist - Coca-Cola
Wieden + Kennedy, Ad Company
Psyop, Production Company
This is a beautiful commercial -- reminded me of the fantasy land of Narnia or Pan's Labyrinth. Nice.
Magazine Buyer - Anheuser-Busch Bud Light
DDB Chicago, Ad Company
Tool of North America, Production Company
You know I love the inappropriate stuff. I found the Asian shop-owners... hilarious especially when she's waving that thing in the air. This commercial is this year's Swear Jar.
Tips - Career Builder
MJZ, Production Company
I also love these Career Builder commercials. They are some that many can empathize with... like those cute Dilbert comic strips.
Wedding - Sprint Nextel
O Positive, Production Company
Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, Ad Company
Innocent enough, though I would've preferred a different stunt groom (this one's too smiley).
Anyways, my vote would go to Heist. It's very well-done, and it reminds me of A Bug's Life/It's Tough To Be A Bug. Which one would you choose? (Leave a comment. *wink wink*)
