Home Run Inn Pizza met with the 5 real finalists Oct 30, before the WGN broadcast, to settle with a consolation prize: $1500 cash & $1000 of HRI pizza coupons. The finalists judged each other's videos, but not their own. 'The Unexpected Guest' by Christopher Kahler was declared the winner. Kahler split the prize equally among the finalists since all were equally cheated. There will never be an official release from HRI saying he was the true contest winner. Congratulations to him all the more.
I, along with many others, completely lost all respect for this contest and Home Run Inn Pizza as a company. The contest results are a disgrace to art and film enthusiasts everywhere. This contest will not be taken seriously in the future. Home Run Inn Pizza's honesty, integrity, and taste will forever be questionable. How unfortunate. WGN will find out about this very soon.
I thought your video and "The Delivery" were the favorites to win. Congratulations anyway on making the final 6. I really enjoyed how you captured that old time horror movie look.
The online voting has ended and win or lose, I just wanted to thank everyone who took 2 minutes out of their day to watch and vote for me. Making the video was the easy part (well, not really), but I couldn't have made it this far without your support. I can't thank you all enough and wanted to say each and every one of you is welcome to eat my year's worth of pizza with me since you made it happen. You guys are the best ! Thanks !
I've watched every entry since the contest began & as a displaced Chicagoan and Home Run eater, your video is the best all around. Don't be so modest ! It is funny, keeps the product out front, and really does nail the fact that HRI makes the best at home pizza. If I didn't already eat it, I would try it. Cheers !
It's mind boggling that you could do all this in 2 days by yourself ! You should win on creativity and will power alone. Pizza and prize money could take care of a crew for next year LOL Good luck !
Either this or Slice should win with a definite edge towards this. Both showed a lot more creativity that the others in this contest didn't touch. Too bad it is based on popularity. Anyone with enough friends can give them high ratings while lowering yours.
glad you made it to the finals like I predicted ! great old school look, you shot it well, it's funny, and it displays the pizza. now I predict that you will win and I haven't been wrong yet. make sure you thank me !
Everybody Who Wants this video to win send a message to home run inn pizza's channel for more luck!P.s I found out its in the top 5 and might win!!!!!So Good Luck Darthvonpokemon
Oh man I have been following this contest and waiting for a video to really make sense. I love the quality and humor behind it. It really captured the spirit of Halloween and the product you were plugging.
Alot was put into this production and really stand above the other lame entrys! I think you have found a winner here.
Man I am still pissing in my pants and running to the local market for a pizza!
jajaa estubo bueno, gracias :)
