Most Likely to Succeed (troupe)
Most Well-Rounded (troupe)
Most Entertaining (troupe)
Most Improved (troupe- over the past 6 months?)
Most Improved (Individual - over the past 6 months?)
Most Underappreciated (troupe)
Most Creative Application of Improv (troupe/individual/show)
Best Promotion of AIC Awareness/Community Visibility (individual)
Best Promotional materials (troupe)
Best Website (troupe)
Most Aggressive (troupe/individual)
Best Character work (individual)
Most Memorable Character (individual)
Best Coach/Teacher/Director (individual)
Best Show/Festival/Event Producer (individual)
Best Joke (individual/troupe)
AIC All-Americans Roster (12 individuals - "All Stars")
Best Representation of AIC Outside of Austin (troupe)
Best (Specifc) Show (show)
Best Show Format/Gimmick by a Troupe (show)
Best Special Event (show)

I had three categories of ideas:
Troupes - established AIC troupes
Individuals - individuals
Show - for a specific performance which may or may not have been done by a usual troupe, such as a Cage Match team or ad hoc gathering which may happen at something like a Blank Show (I'd hate to see any of those creative permutations be overlooked). We could also nominate a specific shows a troupe did like "The Frank Mills - Barbershop" or formats "3.2.1Kill!" or even non-show events "Improv Prom" or "See.Hear.Speak"

I like Kaci's!!!!!
Also:

Most Dependable Troupe
Most likely to make it in Hollywood

Wesley · Post by **Wesley** » October 3rd, 2006, 2:05 pm

I like Jastro's!!!
And after last night I'd be in the running for all of them!

Also, you can't have a Best Monkey category without a Best Pirate and Best Robot, as well.

We should also do Best Non-Austin improviser and send the award to someone famous, like Horatio Sans, so they'll be all OMG! WTF? and come visit us.

Everyone should also submit how much money they make so we can award Austin's Richest Improviser and The AIC's Most Starving Artist.

No voting on Best Pirate until my new form in November. Although I did play a pirate in a Get Up show. Oops, I'm campaigning. Unlike Jastroch.

Best Troupe That Will Be Unable To Attend This Awards Party Due to the Performance of Their Own Show at Coldtowne Theatre (this is to ensure that You Me & Greg wins at least one award, and thus can have Jastroch accept it in our absence).

Other ACTUAL ideas.

- Most Interesting Improviser (Male/Female)
- Most Mysterious Improviser (Male/Female)
- The Jastroch Memorial Award for the Most Grizzled Improviser
- Best Non-Human Improviser
- Best Thursday Night Awesome Act
- The Zorro Award for the Most Daring Ensemble
- Best Cagematch Ad Hoc Team ("Conspiracy Butter!")
- Most Active Local Improv Peep
- Most Inactive Local Improv Peep
- Best Workshop
- Miss Congeniality (Sandra Bullock!)

there's already a lot of good award ideas on here.
