I think you hit the nail right on the head. The winning entry was an excellent production, but it really wasn't an animation. If Autodesk wants to give an award for the best "visualization", even if it has little animation in it, they should at least keep the Technical Excellence award to reward those teams who put a lot of time into designing a very technical, full 30 second animation, all in 3DS Max. I always thought Compelling Creativity was a good one too, so I say, bring back the Honorable Mentions!
