WOW!! This show is off to a great start! Awesome stuff so far, Alicia! Very well edited.
The AL-TV homage is a clever frame for the show. Major production design props to your set!
And of course the song parody is top notch. Can't wait to get the mp3. Could you post the lyrics?
Okay, I'm going to go watch it again.

Fun videos from Mia and Kevbo too!!

One of my favorite jokes from the entire WOWAY Awards (from me) is on my desk there. Anyone know what it is?? :hamsters:

"And so the people of WOWAY cried for lyrics to the WOWAY song as they could not fully understand Alicia's nasally singing voice"

It was a great idea to spread the fun through a couple of weeks! It would be quite tiresome to watch hours of homemade videos at once. :wacko:

Even I didn't have much trouble understanding it :unsure: . What I didn't understand until you reached the chorus was what is the song you parodying :lol: . Turns out I've never fully heard "Friday"...

What a great kick-off to the ceremony!

That pillow-down-the-stairs sight gag made me laugh a LOT.

This. Is. Amazing. I agree with remmy, I literally did a snort-laugh with the pillow down the stairs. Seriously, from a writing/production/editing standpoint, this way exceeded my expectations. Awesome, awesome work, Alicia (and Mia and Kevbo too)!

(Although it does stir up the old debate--I still find whoa-way to be the more natural pronunciation!)

That's how I pronounce it too, but I never put any thought to it (and I'm definitely not a specialist when it comes to English). I didn't even notice Alicia pronounced it differently until you pointed it out :D

The correct way is how Alicia says it, but I've heard people saying whoa-way too. :rolleyes: What a world!
The truth is I rarely if ever need to say it out loud, so the first time it even came up as a question for me was Al Fest.
