RoP Update
Funkmon sent us an update about the Rockets on Prisoner Awards; he took over from That Weasel, and plans to have a version out for Fall 2007 - if you have suggestions for how this should work, let him know over at Halo: Portable! (The plan now is to expand the awards to other Halo media, like music and podcasts.) (Louis Wu 15:34:27 UTC)

More Awards for the Machinimators
Deomitrus wrote to point out a press release from the Sentinel Machinima Awards - this is a new awards project intended to replace the 'Rockets on Prisoner' Awards. (Well, 'replace' is probably a bad word, since Funkmon has said he intends to continue that particular tradition... but the idea is certainly understandable; the Sentinel Machinima Awards will honor the best and brightest machinima for the year.) The full press release can be read at the SMA website. (Louis Wu 18:59:31 UTC)

It's shorter than the Oscars, I guess.
Wonga. That Weasel has posted a note explaining that the Rockets on Prisoner Awards ceremony is now downloadable. It's... pretty long. Almost an hour and a half long. Downloadable, in either WMP9 format (228 mb) or QuickTime format (291 mb). I tried to watch it... but my QuickTime player crashed. The forum post contains plenty of other links, including text versions of all the winners, if you missed them. (Louis Wu 14:21:07 UTC)

Rockets on Prisoner 2005
Speaking of TWTv - we got this press release for the Rockets on Prisoner Awards:
August will be the month of Halo fan films. The 3rd Annual "Rockets on Prisoner" Awards official website will go live on Aug. 1st but before that happens, the community needs to make sure we has all the videos created since Aug. 1st, 2004 in our list. If your video isn't listed, then just use this simple form to make sure we have it. The submission process will end on Aug. 7th, 2005, so make sure we have your video in our list before then.
I just checked the list... and that's a pretty big list! (Louis Wu 18:08:01 UTC)

2003 Rockets on Prisoners Awards
CobaltNova has posted the results of the 2003 Rockets on Prisoner Awards for best Halo movies... winners get cash, courtesy of That Weasel, and a Bungie Prize Pack, courtesy of Bungie. As an amusing side note, I voted with the majority in exactly... zero of the categories. :) Looks like I'm outta sync with the Halo movie-watching audience! (Louis Wu 14:19:06 UTC)

System Overload Imminent - oh, wait, that was yesterday
For those who noticed some difficulties getting to a few Halo movie mirror sites last night (or the Rockets on Prisoner site) - that's what slashdotting'll do to you. We held off until now to say anything, because when this kind of thing is happening, telling people about it only makes things WORSE... but on the plus side, there'll probably be a much wider audience voting for 'best Halo movies' now.
