The 2006 Machinima Festival took a page from The Oscars this year and showed an opening video created by some of the nominees to kick off the festivities. This clip was part of a live performance by the ILL Clan and shows host Ill Will cavorting with some of the other nominee's characters in their respective game worlds. The Spartan Life, Red vs. Blue and others all helped in the creation of this great opener.

Now that video games are on the road to being considered an art form, perhaps they'll get an ostentacious awards ceremony complete with a red carpet and Joan Rivers. Ok, well maybe not Joan Rivers... no, make that definitely not Joan Rivers.
