Clio Awards

Wow. I would have figured more people would have at least attempted to guess the movies on the previous post (my mom claims she got all but two, but she has this inability to produce comments). I'm hoping everyone is just busy with finals and the upcoming wedding season instead of the possibility that no one is actually reading my blog. Hmmm...at any rate, I'll post the answers to them later...somewhere.

The 50th Annual Clio Awards, to be held in Las Vegas this year, are approaching. Named after the Greek muse of history, the Clio Awards recognize creative excellence in several distinct areas within the field of advertising. I looked at the list of some of the commercials up for accolades this year and noticed Audi had several commercials listed in several different categories. Kudos to my second-favorite German car designer and manufacturer (gotta go with VW because a Jetta is my dream car and...well, you know, Volkswagon is "for the people")...but we used to have an Audi; my family bought it when we lived in Germany, so it was a lot cheaper than you might expect...but it was still beautiful. I wish we still had that car. Dang.

Anyway, back to the Clios. Even though Audi put out some stunning commercials in terms of cinematography, animation, and sound, my all-time favorite CLIO award winner goes to a Nissan commercial from 1996 (and yes, wow- that was thirteen years ago):



What about you- what's your favorite commercial?
