The first ever Geekie Awards took place on Aug. 18 in Los Angeles. Created by self-professed geek Kristen Nedopak, the awards ceremony seeks to honor the independent filmmakers, artists and creators active in the geek world.
It's no surprise then that Nathan Fillion and Stan Lee were awarded top honors during the ceremony. Fillion was named Geek of the Year, while Lee earned a lifetime achievement award. Since Fillion wasn't able to attend the awards show, Samm Levine, Natasha Melnick and Sarah Hagan instead presented the award to Jesse Heiman, who gave his best Fillion impression. Meanwhile, Seth Green presented Lee his award. In addition, the Nasa Jpl Mars Curiosity Rover team was given the Geek Cred award.
Present at the awards show were Tara Platt, who served as main announcer, and presenters Richard Hatch, Grant Imahara and Magda Apanowicz, among others. Here are the rest of the night's winners:

Earlier this year, actress Kristen Nedopak gained over 720,000 views for 'To Lydia With Love', a comedy video based on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Now, with the help of the Fullscreen network, Nedopak is turning her Skyrim Parodies into a full-on series, which she hopes will add her name to the list of gaming's most-revered gaming goddesses. The Skyrim Parodies features Nedopak's adventures both inside the world of Skyrim and outside of it (where we see her playing the game in her living room). The other main character is Lydia, one of the game's Npc companions; most of the humor is derived from the ways in which Lydia's video game logic is juxtaposed against Nedopak's own decision-making. New episodes will be released weekly on the next five Mondays, but the first episode, titled 'Carry These Burdens', arrived on November 11. Nedopak waited to sign with a network before releasing the entirety of The Skyrim Parodies.
