The Purpose of the Henry J. Wellard Award for the Underrated, Underappreciated, and Just Plain Snubbed, affectionatly known as the "Wellie," is to award those persons who have been severely overlooked by the various other kinds of awards and recognitions of the world, even though they're talented, entertaining, cool, or smokin' hot.  These persons have been snubbed from a variety of awards: from the Oscar, the Emmy, the Tony, the Grammy, and even those really obscure ones, like the ones that you can vote on in magazines and stuff.  The Wellie was created to give recognition to these persons, even if the acting, writing, music or internet community at large doesn't care enough. 

Some of these people have actually been nominated for the more prestigious awards of the world, but were simply screwed over in the voting process, however deserving he or she might be.  Some of these people should have been nominated, but were overlooked by some sick twist of fate.  Some of these people do work that, while it is not of the caliber for all those stupid Academies consider to be good, should still be recognized because of their perseverence, effort, or sheer entertainingness.  And some of these people have been given this award because I like him or her and think that he or she should get an award just because he or she amuses me.  While the Wellie doesn't have corporate funding (or any funding for that matter), a big theatre, or celebrity presenters, the Wellie is still better than any of those other awards.  Why?  Because I said so.

The Wellie will be presented on an extrememly flexible basis (i.e. when I feel like it).  There will certainly be spots of time when I just don't get around to it for a while, so bear with me, people.  There will probably be more Wellies given when the big awards are given, because they tend to really piss me off with their elitist attitudes and ugly dresses.  I might decide to give awards to people who are actually dressed like humans, too.

So that's it.  Have fun.  If you think that someone deserves an award, please
e-mail me, along with your reasoning as to why this person should win and a picture if you really want to.
