ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, androids, ancient northern gods and kev_incals... Live from scenic Doomstadt, Latveria, welcome to the 4th annual Digital Concept Gallery Achievement Awards! Here's your host, the one, the only-- Doctor Victor von Doom!
DOCTOR DOOM: Welcome, pathetic ants, to the glorious Castle Doom. I have been asked by the insignificant so-called "powers" of Comics2Film to host this evening's festivities. Before I shall do so, however, I must tell all of you that soon, you shall all BOW before the mighty power of DOOM! Even now, my Inverted Matter/Anti-Matter Containment Generator Device of DOOM starts to draw upon the mighty power of Galacticus the World-Muncher himself [That's Galactus' wimpy little brother. -ed.], giving me, DOOM, the mighty power of a mighty GOD! And soon, you shall all BOW before me and proclaim me your rightful LORD and MASTER! Especially you, Reed Richards! In fact, you'll bow before me TWICE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[At this point, thankfully, a Monty Python style 16 ton weight falls on Doctor Doom: splat. B quickly rushes out in a hideous electric blue tuxedo to replace him.]
B: Uh, sorry about that...
ANNOUNCER: And now, ladies and gentlemen, your host... Turner D. Century!
B: What? Uh... Hi, everyone. Welcome to the 2006 DCG Awards.

And finally, there's one award that nobody voted on. Except me. And Dan. And Zac. And the rest of the mod forum. And some guy I met in a pub the other day named Bernard. Not to mention John Cleese and Graham Chapman... well, okay, I guess a few people voted on it.... Nonetheless, it's my pleasure to announce that the Christopher Reeve Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award goes to my predecessor as the Digital Concept Gallery editor, a longtime administrator of the C2F message boards, someone I personally consider an inspiration and a good friend (shh! don't tell him!) and someone who is undoubtedly one of the very finest artists to ever grace the hallowed (virtual) halls of C2F: Adam "Essex" Thur. Essex presided over the gallery for several years and was one of the people that kept this site running during a period when our revered founder, Robbo, was increasingly less involved with its day-to-day running. He updated the gallery five days a week during that time (technically ;)), and was also one of the most highly regarded photomanipulators at C2F... so much so, that in the inaugural DCG Awards, he won the award for Best Artist of the DCG. And he also found time to be made fun of by kev_incal's bizarre innuendo-laden pranks... (*phew*, thanks heavens that doesn't happen anymore, huh? :D) Now, for his services to C2F and the DCG community, I would like to present Adam Thur with this year's Christopher Reeve memorial award.
Well, that's that, folks. I'd like to invite the winners to say a few words, maybe give their own impressions of their award-winning work from this past year. I'd like to invite all of you to enjoy the open bar, assuming kev_incal lets you get at it. You're also welcome to post some absolutely 100% real images of yourselves arriving at the awards. And of course: have fun! Thanks once again to everyone who voted. See you next year!
DOCTOR DOOM: Welcome, pathetic ants, to the glorious Castle Doom. I have been asked by the insignificant so-called "powers" of Comics2Film to host this evening's festivities.
