Kevin's Eleven: The Elevies

3/8/2012

Comments

The Academy Awards, presented a few weeks ago, marked the end of the the self-indulgence that we have come to know as "Awards Season."  We give out Grammy's, Tony's, Emmy's and Golden Globes to those who represent the top 1% of the 1%.  With all of the nominees and categories and ceremonies, you would think that no stone was left un-awarded... but you would be wrong.

Luckily, I am here to pick up the slack...

Arbitrarily nominated and awarded, this new Award is intended to show 11 individuals or groups that their work deserves recognition, even if there is no rhyme or reason for doing so.

Ladies and gentleman, I give to you:
