They're watching Ponyo on a high-definition pond.
Grand Prix Award: Gake no Ue no Ponyo
Best Interaction Award: Detective Conan: Shikkoku no Tsuisekisha
Users Choice Award: Bakemonogatari
Ponyo and Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone were both noinated for Best Video Quality but unfortunately lost out to Monsters, Inc. and Akira lost out in Best Audio Quality to WALL-E. Still, though, this makes me even more excited for the upcoming Blu-Ray release of Ponyo, due out March 2nd! (It's also currently on sale at Amazon for $24.99, where MSRP is $39.99, just for the record.)
A few other interesting notes: best high-def went to, if you can imagine, the BD release of Braveheart, and Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai also took home a Judge's Special Award.
I bet it also gets a few of you excited for the possibilities of a Bakemonogatari license-- don't worry, it'll happen. Sooner or later. Right? Riiiiiight?
Is there something added to the Blu-Ray, or are they just commenting on well done controls and options?
Well, we will never find out in the US.
William Wallace winning best hi-def in defiance of tyranny. :p
I believe the acceptance speech went like this.
Also yes Bakemonogatari license would be awesome.
