Okay, I know this doesn't go exactly here, but I've had talks with bicilotti and thanks to Wyz's awesome source code and help, I've managed to put together a workable code.
What's needed:
As for now just contribute character templates then. And any opera/stage backgrounds. USE PM FUNCTION.
It's a good idea to specify resolution when requesting graphics :P
Hope you get lots of help though!
Use RON characters. :D
I'd be happy to help, although I have no idea what we are talking about right now? Will the ceremony be held via some chat-version of AGS? Sorry for being so ignorant... ::)

Such things exist now?!? :o
Are you from the future?!?
Will the ceremony be also recorded as some movie or something, so I can rewatch it in a few years when I'm old and sentimental?

Yes I am.
The resolution could be anything really, since I have no graphics I can't reason it down to a resolution, that means kicking off potential candidates.
I have no idea what I want, cause I have no idea what you people can provide.

No. THIS IS ONE IN A LIFETIME. This is also my farewell to the AGS community...
Nah. You'd wish.

You can take the sprite JimReed made of me, if he doesn't mind. The one with katana. I myself like it. I'll see if i can find it anywhere near me.

I can provide sprites of Frantic Franko and the flying balloon man if they can be used for something.
It's a bit scribbly, but maybe this will help:

Now will someone please make a sprite of Ricky Gervais?
Woah, great arena! I mean stage.

Maybe just rip the Tim Schafer sprites from Host Master (http://www.doublefine.com/games/host_master/). He resembles Ricky close enough.
Dibs on the balcony!

The audience and critics start slowly filling the seats whole 3 weeks before the ceremony...

Waiting just off stage, a hopeful young cow crosses his fingers and dares to dream the impossible dream that this is finally his year... :=
(He also hopes that Ali will add a giant Nelly Cootalot on the stage, ready to unleash her reign of super-sized terror on the smaller sprites).
(http://www.hardydev.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/theatrer_bacon.png)
Ricky Gervais emerges from the big blue cup and comes onto the stage. He looks at the cow and thinks of bacon. Then he turns around and tells the joke about how Oceanspirit Dennis hypocritically changed his sexuality in the middle of making love to Life Partner Ray. The celebrities look among themselves not sure if they should laugh or be offended. Before they manage to decide, Ricky already leaves the stage suddenly realizing it is way too early for him to be here.

Dave & Tifa won 2 tickets for the balcony seats To see the Live Ceremony!
I wish I had the m4d sk1llz to add myself tuning a guitar somewhere. Anyhoo, good luck with this, Duals, it'll be quite awesome, I'm sure :D
Haha, Statler and Waldorf! Grand! =D
Yeah, feel free to draw me. =)

I second this. (And third it as well.)
Awesome!
As for the art, maybe you could make a sketch for the background you have in mind, duals. That way we could get an impression what to expect, and what art would look great, maybe brainstorm a bit.
Btw, I'm seated at the boxes across the hall. ;)

Mike provides security for mr. Gervais from the stands, scanning the gathering crowd.
But in all seriousness, I think the request was for characters with walkcycles so that the participants can walk their little characters around in front of the stage. Like antssss...
We got the background then, ladies and gentlemen, though not much of a walking is there, but no worries there, I'll let you guys go around the whole area. As for now just contribute character templates then. And any opera/stage backgrounds. USE PM FUNCTION

I don't get it. What additonal opera backgrounds do you need?

Backstage! So we can see all the unedited drama and cat fights. Plus we'll need a lobby. That way we have a place to stand and form a nice line while we wait for the ushers to seat us. ;)
I've asked m0ds to lock this,hopefully he will, i will arise with all the info very soon, for now this goes stable and chances of failure are zero. Also I will record the ceremony and allow watching, for those that aren't cool enough to show up on time.
