The Atom Original Series, “Stickman Exodus” recently took home the Webby for Online Film & Video: Animation and the People’s Voice Award to boot.

Check out “Stickman” creator Chris Ford’s shorter-than-short acceptance speech. With the five word minimum, it’s hard out there for an animator!

(See fellow Waverly honcho Jon Watts lurk in the background.)

We anticipate more Webby love to be bestowed upon the wunderkinds of Waverly Films. “The Fuzz” is their upcoming Atom series about humans and puppets that join forces to crack down on crime in a corrupt city. This action sounds hotter than Hot Fuzz.

I mean, we’re kind of biased, since we think our dear little violent stick-filled series should win a Grammy, an Emmy, a Pulitzer, and a Nobel Peace Prize — but a Webby would be a pretty great start. And guess what? YOU can help it win! Head on over to The People’s Voice, register, and show your love for Stickman Exodus by voting today!

Voting ends April 30th, so hurry up and vote now! Don’t disappoint our poor stickmen — they’ve taught us so much about life, love, the Spanish language, and our own bodies:

Stickman Exodus, Ep. 4: Sex Ed

The event everyone is talking about this year is The Streamy Awards: a celebration of excellence in web television. By now you’ve probably noticed that we have a few original series here on Atom that kick all sorts of ass. What better way to demonstrate your love for your favorite Atom series than by nominating it for a Streamy!

Nominations close Friday January 23,  2009 at 11:59 PM (PST) so hurry up and get yours in!

You can only nominate one series per category, so choose wisely! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, we are happy to help.

Perhaps Stickman Exodus is your favorite Comedy Web Series, with its simple yet effective portrayal of the stabbing, hanging, maiming and disembowling of innocent stick figures. Maybe the subtle comedic stylings of Tom Lenk in  Border Patrol inspire you to nominate him for Best Comedic Actor. Or perhaps Brit McAdams’ skillfully crafted awkwardness in Great Moments in Human Interaction is more favorable to your discerning palate of comedy writing. You might enjoy Sandeep Parikh’s direction of Legend of Neil, which taught us all important lessons about racial tolerance and casual sex with fairies.

Go ahead, we’ve got plenty of series to choose from. Nominate them for a Streamy, and make the world a better place.
