They were joined by Keith and the Girl, Joe Garden & John Harris (The Onion), Michael Musto (The Village Voice), Nick Turner & Jesse Pop, Andrew WK, and Michael Ian Black (The State).

There were performances throughout the night by the musical nominees: Adira Amram, Snakes, Shayna Ferm, Stuckey and Murray, and Mindy Raf (as Leibya Rogers).
Videos were created for the show by Chelsea White, and ECNY Girl Katherine Bryant Flaherty was outfitted in a dress provided by Caroline Herrera, because we’re super classy.

Winners were selected by combining a public voting process, and voting by a committee composed of industry professionals.

The ECNY Awards are produced by Alex Goldberg (Fearsome), Jon Friedman (The Rejection Show), Carol Hartsell (Drink at Work), Nate Sloan (The Apiary), and Alex Zalben (Elephant Larry).
