    Nick Cannon Asks for Bribes as He Joins the Real-Time Academy for the Shorty Awards

    PRWeb – Fri, Feb 24, 2012

    Finalists and Shorty Vox Populi announced as newest juror Nick Cannon jokingly asks for bribes in a video message to nominees: http://youtu.be/CGhCj8ZAIIs.

    New York, NY (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

    On Monday, March 26th at 7:30pm, join the Shorty’s at the TimesCenter in NYC or tune in live at ShortyAwards.com to see who the best content producers on Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Tumblr, YouTube, Quora and the rest of the social web are.

    Nominations have closed with over 1.6 million tweet nominations, more than doubling last year’s reach. With such hot competition, it might be worth it to take Nick Cannon up on his offer. Nick, the founder of NCredible Entertainment and Chairman of TeenNick, just joined the Shorty Awards’ Real-Time Academy, the group that picks the winners of the Shorty Awards! The popular comic, actor, radio and TV host is starring in Nick Cannon: Mr. Showbiz on Comedy Central, is the host of NBC's America’s Got Talent, is a recurring character on NBC's Up All Night, and recently cameoed on an episode of NBC's 30 Rock.

    Shorty Vox Populi:

    New this year, the person or organization with the most nominations in a featured category is the recipient of the Shorty Vox Populi distinction. For a chance to win a Shorty Award, finalists from several of the featured categories have been chosen to be presented to the Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences (http://rtacademy.org). The Academy will then select one from each chosen category to declare as a Shorty Award winner, complete with 140-character acceptance speeches.

    What is the Real-Time Academy?

    http://rtacademy.org

    The Real-Time Academy of Short-Form Arts & Sciences, which includes Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales (@jimmy_wales), Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley (@dens), Kurt Andersen (@KBAndersen), Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) and Nick Cannon (@NickCannon), ultimately decide the winners at the awards ceremony in NYC.
