The Xbox Academy Awards
I thought it’d be interesting to spoof the Academy Awards Xbox style. They’re not the Oscars. Instead, they’re the Ring of Lights. Who managed to make it into the first Xbox Academy Awards and run away with the Ring of Lights statue?
The Xbox Academy Awards cover the entire 360 community including the developers and publishers who provide the games/product. I hope you all have a fun time browsing through them. I’ll add more categories throughout the day so keep refreshing.

I’d like to thank the Academy and everyone who voted. You…you are…. YOU ARE THE BEST!

I’d like to thank the cameraman Michael Wolf, this whole thing was his brilliant cinematography.
I’d also like to thank Tony’s eyebrow – we knew it’d rise to the occasion, but no one thought it’d get as high as it did during this short film…
