Our Thoughts on the Winner
It’s hard to beat the Coen brothers. Out of the three awards they have won, two were won this evening. They already said their piece in the first award, so this time it was left to a simple thank you from Ethan.

Joel decided to talk about how they made films as young boys. Needless to say, they haven’t changed their philosophy from those days, they just have better equipment and get more attention.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.
