It was just painful, even the host said it was a 'trainwreck' - you had to feel bad for the guy because how can you host an award show when you see people leaving. It got to the point where you didn't think it would get any worse and then it did. The last presenters even asked if anyone was still there.

This is the first time I saw the broadcast, and I expected something of much higher quality given last year's show and I was bitterly disappointed. If I knew nothing about webseries and saw that was the award show I would shudder to think what the shows they were supposed to be awarding were like.

There was so much talent within the listed nominees and it's a damn shame that the awards show didn't live up to that. Congrats to everyone who won and who was nominated, I hope next year they sort it out.

Agreed. Even the attendees were audibly groaning by the end (the fact that I could hear it over the Ustream means something, considering all the audio difficulties they had).

I was there live, and everything looked great... until the show started. After about 20min it, it began a comedy of errors that made the whole event embarrassingly bush league on many levels.

Also, I'm a fan of low-brow humor, but they not only over did it in quantity of low brow jokes AND most of the jokes were not funny at all!

By the end of the show, about 70% of the audience in the upper deck had left. I cannot blame them.

Congrats to the awards winners and those that received nomination. I hope next year people take this more seriously. If I were a more traditional presenting sponsor (like Kodak was), this show would not give me confidence about associating with this medium without HIGH scrutiny.
