"The seventh annual Stony Awards celebrate the best films and television shows that are best watched baked, the ones that tickle the Stony bone. A Stony-nominated film doesn’t have to be about getting high (though it helps), nor does it have to be bursting with Purple Urkel in every shot (though I’d probably vote for that film). A Stony Award is more often about you, the viewer, with senses properly stimulated along the wide-open avenues of appreciation that emerge when you take that first puff, pop in that new DVD and press “Play.”




The Stonys are about the cultural community that grows out of the stoner experience and blossoms onto the modern screen, large and small—the best TV shows and films that each year build upon our world.

To garner a coveted Stony nomination, a film or TV show must have a moment of connection with the marijuana ethos. It can be a fully realized appreciation, like Seth Rogen’s lovable-stoner-gets-the-girl comedy Knocked Up, or it can be a simple but meaningful nod to potheads at large, as with Otto’s long-overdue bong rip in this year’s best animation, The Simpsons Movie.

This year, the Stony Awards are going to Los Angeles, in a benefit for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. NORML is necessary because we live in an age when our own government spends millions of dollars each year just to let everyone know that people who smoke marijuana are lazy, mindless morons who might shoot you in the face. (Remember that commercial?) Then, every Sunday night when the bud brothers in HBO’s Entourage take the screen, the government’s lie is exposed. Each week, 15 million Americans and millions more worldwide laugh along with Vince, Eric, Turtle and Drama as they take beaucoup bong hits, and the world by storm. Their loyalty to each other, like their affection for the kind, is never in question".

This line is said at every other televised awards show...I think Sally Field even said it right before her famous "You like me, you really like me." quote at the Academy Awards.

Well ya gotta respect the hard work the winners put in to achieve in winning this most prestigious award...
