...awards, voted on by industry pros, were handed out with the skew towards the mainstream that the Eisner's are known for. A complete list of winners can be found here. However, there were two highlights of the presentations. The "Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition" award went, most appropriately, to Jason Shiga.

Although I listen to stars like Britney Spears, I have much more respect for performers like American Idol's Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, whose talents far outshine the clothes they wear and the way their bodies look.
