They claim that the Cyberstar awards are the Oscars of Cyberspace. I'm game.

If _VirtualCity_ is behind them, I would say they're more like the Golden Globes, those awards that outsiders give to people in the industry. I don't know if it will ever be possible to have an Oscars of Cyberspace, given that it will be essentially equivalent to the Peoples' Choice awards. It certainly isn't desirable, since there would be some sort of _Internet Academy_ to promote some sort of elitist hegemony. (now if it was made up of APL users...)
