Avery Awards
I liked album #57 Avery Awards ceremony. (If you can call it a ceremony.) I thought it was really well done. Though I didn't think it was making fun of AIO fans. But I can see why you would think that.
When the voting started, I wrote down my answers so I could look back to see what I had guessed. (Cause I always forget. I've writing down my answers for the last few Avery Awards.) Anyways, I got 4/7 correct.
For album #56, I got like one correct! XD As I've stated before, I didn't like album #56, which may be the reason I didn't get the Avery Award majority answers correct. Haha.

Well, Josh, I must admit that it was annoying to see Hertford win again in such a prominent category as Best Actor, and over such good alternatives too. It was so predictable. Other actors deserved to win this time. I was glad Katrina and Eugene at the restaurant won best scene.
And the are not.
Ben, perhaps not exactly making fun. But at any rate, making jokes about the bloggers and podcasters, obviously.

Yeah, yeah, I can see your assessment of the jokes a bit more clearly, PF. And I agree with you more.
And that kind of is annoying that the fan favorites do win every time. Whenever there's an Avery Award, I always think that the popular ones win, but I pick the ones I think should win.
Here's what I guessed:And I was wrong, I technically got 4/6 correct. Not 4/7.
And phooey! For the two Avery Awards before this last one, I would also put my predictions. But I forgot to do it this time. :/

Best Actress:
Shona Kennedy as Jules
Katie Leigh as Connie
Barbara Niles as Miss Rhonda Adelaide
Kimmy Robertson as Penny
Audrey Wasilewsky as Katrina
My Pick
Shona! I'm biased of course. After all, she's one of us, and she's living our ultimate dream. Still, fanboy bias aside, she performed marvelously as Jules, shaping this new character into someone who made bad decisions and yet made us like her.
Probable Win:
Katie Leigh. Just a wild guess.
Best Sound Moment
Wooton and Penny visit Comic-Connellsville and see many displays.
Whit uses the train set as an object lesson and all the kids participate.
Buck gets beat up by Vance's friends in McAlister Park.
Harlow and the kids are surprised that a ghost town is filled with zombies.
My Pick:
The train scene, possibly their most dramatically, imaginatively and emotionally effective use of sound design yet. On a side note, have the Averies ever had this category before? They may have with GRC. In any case, "Best Sound Moment" works better than the more general question of which episode had the best sound design.
Probable Win:
Comic Connelsville. Definitely a moment of sound design that stands out in AIO history. It brought you right to Comic Connelsvielle, entertained, and amazed.
Best Acter
Robby Bruce as Buck Oliver
Chad Doreck as Hadley Bassett
Jess Harnell as Wooton Bassett
Will Ryan as Eugene Meltsner and Harlow Doyle
Andre Stojka as John Whittaker
My Pick:
Chad Doreck. He deserves hearty, "Welcome aboard" for bringing Wooton's clumsy cousin to us.
Probable Win:
Robby. Never underestimate fangirls.
Most Surprising Moment
Jules Kendall shows up at Comic-Connellsville.
Whit's End is vandalized by the Vigilantors.
Whit collapses at an Odyssey Business Association Meeting.
Wooton's house burns down.
Jules Kendall is the Perilous Pen's informant.
My Pick and Probable Win
Wooton's house burning down takes the grape juice float. We all found that rather shocking. Even when you find it's burned, you find yourself siding with Hadley when he insists the house is likely okay. Tehy wouldn't burn down an iconic character's also iconic house, would they? Not twice, right?
Best New Character
Ben Parley (Odyssey Business Association president)
Dee Grant (Representative for Maximized Comics)
Hadley Bassett (Wooton's cousin)
Hugo Wells (World-famous art collector)
Randall Edgeware (Ms. Adelaide's brother)
My Pick
Randall Edgeware makes this a brutal race. The Ties that Bind established Hadley as lovable, hilarous, and got us interested in his fate, surprised us with how dishonest he can be, and made us look forward to seeing more of him. All in 14 episodes. Still, Randall was heartrending, and his actor played him well. But Hadley definitely deserves the Avery.
Probable Win
Probably Hadley. Most Odyssians are young kids after all, and few things win over kids like humor. And if the humorous character sounds like Olaf, well.
So, what are your hopes for the wins? Let's talk it up.

What a good topic, Pound Foolish!
Actually, I believe that Shona might win for best actress. She is a new character that brings new interest into the episodes.
The tran room is the best scene in the album to my opinion. Odyssey has never really done something like it before. Whit did a wonderful job explaining with the trains.
You are probably right about Robby Bruce.
Even though I had already found out that Wooton's house burnt down, it was still huge surprise to find that it actually happened. Strike that...terrible surprise.

Whit collapses at an Odyssey Business Association Meeting was probably the biggest surprise because other and Wooten's house burning down, the rest were hinted or could be guessed.

I agree with PF on every one of his picks. Great minds think alike, eh?

I'm glad. But even if you don't agree with the list agree with the post, since I predicted you fangirls would vote for Robby. Especially now you've seen his picture on the site and Buck is illustrated. You fangirls shouldn't be allowed to vote. You complain about the culture of beauty obsession (ala Liz) then turn around and vote for the cute guy!Novatom wrote:I voted for Buck; other than that I completely agree with your list.

The only way I knew Kevin wrote it was the puns, the jokes, the sense of humor in general, and all the voices Kevin did in it.
Well, that and he's written the past 3 or 5 or so.

Ha ha! But no he hasn't. Didn't he only write the GRC one before this? There was one by BlimeyCow last time though.

No...last time it was by Kevin. It had several voices from Blimey Cow, but Kevin wrote it as well as doing one of the main voices. http://www.whitsendblog.org/2013/11/a-c ... ry-awards/Pound Foolish wrote:Ha ha! But no he hasn't.

Kevin also did a voice in the Album 51 one; I was under the impression that he had written most of them.

You're right, he did write the last one. But the one before that was video one which I don't think he wrote? Anyhow, typically fun Averies with unusually satisfactory results, I'd say.

I'm with you on the Randall-for-best-new-character. This may just be coming from an "older than target age" listener, but for me, Hadley brought just a little too-o-o much "slapstick comic relief".
