NOMINEES & VOTE for BEST of SEASON 7 "GETTING READY" (2010 CASSONE CHANNEL HONORS)


This is your one stop web page for the 2010 Cassone Channel Honors coverage for the best of Season 7 of Getting Ready, the web reality series over at the Cassone2007 YouTube Channel. See below for the polls and a full list of the nominees, including the continuing and ever-growing history by numbers tally. You can vote daily. Voting ends Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Winners will be announced Sunday, May 30, 2010 right here at http://www.antoniocassone.blogspot.com. Winners receive a trophy and the honor.

While Season 7 of Getting Ready was the series' least viewed, as it was filled with webisodes containing past performances by series regulars due to my illness, I am grateful to my supporting players, guests, Cat & Judy and Miss Bea for 'filling' the season with creative and relative material. I am always up front about not only the highs and successes of my channel, but of our low points as well because it is the only way we can learn, I can learn to be and do better - to provide a more entertaining and relevant show for our now more than 1600 channel subscribers.

Walter McCoy Life Legend Award, beginning with the 2010 awards year (Season 7) this award will be given to someone of my choosing based on their overall body of work and their contribution to GETTING READY and any of the Cassone2007 and PhotographybyCassone channels. I name this category after Walter McCoy, because from the beginning of my channel, he was always a silent, but very supportive and encouraging force behind a lot of what ended up being the final product. If it were not for Walter, we would not have been graced by Miss Bea, nor would I have had a location for many of the webisodes and/or photo shoots. His career was in catering, restaurant and bar service industries, yet his steady support and constant blessing of my work is why I chose to name this award in a way to memorialize him, his efforts and his legacy. Walter passed away January 22, 2010. The recipient of this award will be chosen either annually, or season by season. Their career and life’s work should mirror each other in a standard of excellence, a giving back to the ‘world’ community through that work and have an essence that defines legendary status. The first recipient of this honor, I am proud to announce, is Miss Twiggy, whose career as a female impersonator spans four decades and her charity work through benefit shows and motherly approach to her younger contemporaries established her as a legend long before now.

THE 2010 CASSONE CHANNEL HONORS RULES & REGULATIONS

Rules, Categories and Regulations

Nominees are chosen based on subscriber comments, video views and ratings.

No more than five (5) webisodes will be selected for each category and in performer categories, no more than five (5) individual performers will be selected for performer categories – unless there is a tie. In that case there will be six nominees in that given category.

A voting body consisting of subscribers, channel viewers, social networking site group members and peer channel directors will select the winner(s) in each category via simple online polls.

Each category will be given its own separate poll, with results remaining in public view through the duration of the voting process.

Any video appearing on the Cassone2007 channel for a given season is eligible for an award. A ‘season’ constitutes 24 webisodes.

Winners in each category receive a trophy – and the honor.

All credited webisode performers, et al are eligible for the Best Webisode (per each given season) category – thus if a performer, technical person, co-director, production assistant, set designer, location producer et al was credited for that specific webisode; all are part of that nomination (and eventual award) in that given category.

All performer and technical achievement categories are for individual achievement for that specific supporting player, guest star or technical artist.

Supporting Player category is for individual ‘performers’ for each qualified season who have appeared in GETTING READY or any extras on the channel, in five (5) or more webisodes to be eligible for that category in that given season.

Guest Star category is for individual ‘performers’ for each qualified season who have appeared in GETTING READY in four (4) or less webisodes or any extras on the channel, to be eligible for that category in that given season.

Technical Achievement category, beginning with the 2010 awards year (Season 7) WILL now appear as a competition category for technical artist in a given webisode during a given season – i.e. this is for set designers, costumers, hair designers, makeup, lighting techs, sound operators, location producers, stylists and will be voted on by the general public.

Sister Channel awards are given to channels that have caught the eye of our subscribers and have a common bond with our audience, thus creating a more global feel to the experience while viewers are at Cassone’s sites and channel. Cassone will select this award, with suggestions being taken into consideration by subscribers and even the peer channel directors themselves. This category will be threefold, as an award will be given to Local, USA and Global. See categories for more information. These awards are to be given annually.

Pioneer Award is a special category given to an individual or channel that has promoted, shared, coached and assisted using their knowledge and tools to help the Cassone2007 channel grow, improve and meet the demands of it’s subscribers and viewership. Cassone will select the honoree, with suggestions being taken into consideration. This award will be given annually.

Public Service Award is given to an individual or channel that exemplifies the Cassone2007 view of creating art and/or media that provokes thought, incites positive activism that enlightens the human spirit and makes the world a brighter and better place. This award will be given annually.
