NEW YORK, NY - May 1, 2008 - Logo
"The NewNowNext Awards provides a first-ever original stage to recognize a new generation of artists living their careers out and proud from the beginning," said Brian Graden, President, Entertainment, MTV Networks Music Group, and President, Logo.
The groundbreaking NewNowNext Awards will be the first truly multi-platform awards show. Viewers will be able to experience different aspects of the event across a number of platforms, including on-air, online at the event's principal website and on mobile devices. The tentpole event will air on Logo, and stream simultaneously on LOGOonline.com and its sister websites AfterElton.com, AfterEllen.com and Downelink.com. Special online components include running commentary on the awards and a special online only post-show.
An academy of voters
The NewNowNext Awards offers the LGBT perspective on what's hot and hip in popular culture by honoring emerging and established artists with such awards as the Best Future Feature, Totally Most Rad Sickest Blog Ever and Brink of Fame: Music Artist awards. Unlike other awards shows, the NewNowNext Awards will not look at the year past, but will instead focus on what is up-and-coming in popular culture in 2008 and beyond. The 90-minute telecast will feature musical performances by The Cliks, Lady GaGa and Dangerous Muse and presenters will include filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell (Short Bus), actress Heather Matarazzo (Exes & Ohs), designer Christian Siriano (Project Runway) and musician Cyndi Lauper.
The awards build on Logo's acclaimed NewNowNext franchise, which includes a music show identifying emerging musicians popular with the LGBT audience and a pop culture blog.
A full list of nominees for the categories awarded on-air, online and on affiliated websites and blogs is below. For more information, visit www.LOGOonline.com or NewNowNextAwards.com. The on-air event is being produced by Line By Line Productions and executive producer Frank Garritano.
