<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>, Hulu Pair Up For EWwy Awards

For its second annual people's choice EWwy Awards, pop culture magazine Entertainment Weekly has partnered with online video Web site Hulu.com. The EWwy's are EW's answers to television's Emmy Awards. They give readers a chance to honor their favorite shows and stars, including those perpetually snubbed by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Starting today, readers can vote online for their faves through EW.com and Hulu. Explained the two: "EW.com's EWwys programming will include galleries of photos for the ten categories with links back to Hulu's EWwys package, as well as a series of posts on the award-winning blog PopWatch with embedded video clips of the nominees. Hulu will feature a thematic 'carousel' of videos at www.hulu.com/ewwys2009 with links to vote and review all the nominees at EW.com." Here's how it works: EW readers picked six nominees for each category for online visitors to pick from. For the next week, online visitors will be able to vote in the five comedy series categories (best series, best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress). Voting for the five drama series categories will start next Monday. The winners will be announced on September 14, with recipients each earning a golden female sheep or "ewe" statuette. "EW.com has received a hailstorm of emails and blog comments from fans who are outraged that their favorite shows haven't been recognized," EW.com's managing editor Cyndi Stivers said in a statment. "They say, 'How did the Emmys manage to ignore "True Blood"?' and 'What about "Battlestar Galactica"; what about "The Shield?" They had the most amazing final seasons!' We're delighted to join forces with Hulu so we can show as well as tell what our audience believes to be TV's best."
