If you were a fashion designer, chances are you are living in New York City with a million other designers vying to get noticed. So what would you do if the chance of a lifetime were suddenly handed to you? If you were asked to explain who you are as a designer in five words or less? If the editor-in-chief of the most iconic fashion magazine in the world were to judge your aesthetic and every detail that defines who you are in a matter of 15 minutes? You would jump at the chance.
Every year, 10 American fashion designers are selected by the Council of Fashion Designers of America for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, to compete in a fierce but prestigious competition that gives one talented designer $300,000 to kick-start his or her business and a mentorship with a fashion industry leader.
And now you don’t have to imagine what the inner workings of the four-month competition process are like. The six-part series “The Fashion Fund” is now exclusively on Hulu and Hulu Plus beginning today, with new episodes airing every Thursday. For the first time ever, you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion world.
The lucky winner will follow in the footsteps of other Fashion Fund winners who subsequently became fashion luminaries – including Rodarte (15-year-old fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson is their muse), Proenza Schouler, and Alexander Wang.
The panel of judges – fashion elite: Anna Wintour of Vogue, Diane Von Furstenberg, and J. Crew’s creative director Jenna Lyons.
“It validates you,” stated Von Furstenberg, CFDA’s president. ”It makes you part of the New York dialogue,” said 2007 finalist Scott Sternberg of the brand Band of Outsiders.
The Fashion Fund award is an achievement that offers success, influence, and something that can simply change lives. Check out the runway style explosion, the rush of New York City, and the wobbly-kneed and butterfly-tummied excitement of The Fashion Fund right here on Hulu.

More than a game, the Super Bowl is a cultural event, a truly American spectacle, and the ads are very much a part of the experience. Mix a big stage with big ambitions and budgets, and what you get are some memorable ads, as well some memorable misfires — not unlike the game itself. The best will make you laugh, think, or even feel something, whether it’s the warmth of Volkswagen’s “The Force” spot from 2011 or the emotion rendered in text by Google’s “Parisian Love” in 2010.
As you read this, directors of this year’s ads are putting the finishing touches on their work, some tinkering until the very last minute. Some ads will be veiled in secrecy until the second they appear on air; others will be released on the web early to generate buzz before the game. All will represent the brand’s best effort to connect with the public and to tell a story in 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
For advertisers, the stakes are high; this is their “Super Bowl,” too. With more than 110 million viewers in the U.S. alone, its the biggest TV audience of the year and they pay dearly for the privilege to reach them: $3.5 million for 30 precious seconds of air time.
While the hilarious gag is a mainstay of Super Bowl creative, last year we saw the pendulum start to swing back to ads that tell a story. This isn’t exactly a new trend: the two best Super Bowl ads of all time, Apple’s “1984” and Coke’s 1980 “Mean Joe Green” conveyed a narrative, which made them memorable. Last year, Chrysler took it further, airing a 2-minute mini-movie “Imported from Detroit,” which reintroduced the brand, and Detroit, to an audience that hadn’t thought much about either in a while. This year, expect more of the same. “You’re going to see the art form of storytelling take on a greater role in the Super Bowl,” NBC Sports advertising sales chief Seth Winter told Ad Age.
Here at Ad Age, we appreciate the art and science of advertising, whether it’s Clydesdale’s playing football or a bunch of guys who just had to say, “wassup.” To get you ready for the Big Game, we dug through the archives of Super Bowls past and partnered with Hulu to bring you the best ads of all time. We’ll be adding “Behind The Work” videos in the coming days that tell the story behind some of the greatest of the past 50 years.
Did we miss any of your favorites? Let us know in comments. And if you’d like to read more about the business behind the Super Bowl, you can visit us at AdAge.com.
With the playoff games behind us, Super Bowl XLVI is just around the corner, and we know it is time to get serious. After all, the days surrounding the big game are the one time we all go out of our way to watch — and talk about — commercials. That’s why we’re kicking off the Hulu AdZone, presented by Toyota. AdZone offers you easy access to all of the Super Bowl ads available on Hulu today, from iconic ads from as early as 1973 to preview ads from 2012 (like VW’s Bark Side). Browse through ads from 2008 to 2011, and new this year, Hulu has partnered with Advertising Age to highlight celebrity cameos as well as their expert picks for the most iconic Super Bowl ads of all time, including Apple’s groundbreaking “1984.” And don’t forget to come back on game day, February 5, to watch all of this year’s ads in real time, share them with your friends, and vote for your favorites. We’ll announce our users’ pick for the best ad of 2012 on Monday, February 6.
In the meantime, we’ve pulled together some of our favorite ads since Hulu’s first Super Bowl game and sorted them into themes for easy viewing. Here they are:
The Great (Editor’s Picks)
Among the flash-bang-whizz of Super Bowl ads, there are always a select few ads that rise above the noise with elegance, simplicity, clarity and humor. And yes, I’m plugging Hulu’s very own offering from 2009, or last year’s Skechers ad starring Kim Kardashian. I may have tagged it as a “miss” at the time, but a year later, I can still recall every second of Kim Kardashian. Looks like she was quite effective after all.
Big Laughs
Suprising, shocking, crass and clever — these are the LOLs of the Super Bowl.
Over the Top
Super Bowl commercials often dazzle, delight and entertain, but sometimes they just make you wonder if someone laced your Heineken with PCP. From SoBe’s incredibly cluttered lizard ads to GoDaddy’s constant attempts to trick you into thinking you’re about to see some skin, these ads leave us scratching our heads no matter how many times we watch them.
Babies and Animals
After years of practice, advertisers have learned the way to our collective hearts: babies and animals. Man’s best friend has been used to sell everything from cars to Gatorade, and we say “awwww” every time. While I’m no fan of E*Trade’s talking baby (if we really loved babies who speak in adult voices, we’d flock to the theaters to see “Look Who’s Talking 12,” and “Baby Bob” would still be on the air), you can’t deny that viewers have come to look forward to the snide little whipper-snapper who trades stocks like an ace.
Made by Fans
Since Doritos introduced their Crash the Super Bowl contest, ads made by fans have consistently made viewers’ favorite lists. In recent years, Pepsi has jumped in on the act, as well. The popularity of these fan-produced ads proves you don’t need to spend millions to create an effective ad.
Enjoy the AdZone on Hulu beginning today, share your favorite ads with your friends, and get ready to vote in real time for your favorite ads of Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5 (official kickoff time: 6:25 p.m. EST).
America’s love affair with Betty White has stood the test of seven decades. Our favorite funny-woman has more than one reason to celebrate this week – a sneak peek of her new show, “Off Their Rockers,” aired on NBC last night, along with a star-studded 90th birthday celebration. The show takes its cue from hidden-camera shows like “Punk’d,” but this time, the pranksters are all salacious senior citizens. As far as we’re concerned, it’s perfect timing – we were just remarking on primetime’s unfortunate scarcity of Jazzy scooter jokes.
We can’t wait to see what these silver-haired scamps will get up to next. In the meantime, we’ve put together just a few of Betty’s best moments in honor of her birthday, and her absolute refusal to get any less entertaining.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1973 – 1977)
Betty got a big break on The Mary Tyler Moore Show playing her most villainous role – snide and scheming Sue Ann Nivens, who was sweet on the outside and mean to the core.
Golden Girls (1985 – 1992)
Betty is best known for her role as loveable, ditzy Rose, a drastic departure from Sue Ann, and one that would set the tone for the rest of her career.
The Proposal (2009)
Despite Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds’ combined star power, Betty’s hilarious one-liners as randy Grandma Annie were what made this romcom memorable.
Snickers Super Bowl Ad (2010)
Betty stole the show at the 2010 Super Bowl by popping up in a Snickers commercial with fellow octogenarian Abe Vigoda.
Community (2010)
Betty guest-starred as a kooky anthropology professor with a penchant for blowguns, rapping, and her own urine.
Saturday Night Live (2010)
In May 2010, Betty became the oldest person to ever host SNL after a grassroots Facebook campaign convinced the producers to invite her on. She adeptly walked the line between vulgar and adorable, making her one of the most popular hosts of the year, and cementing her status as a national treasure.
Hot In Cleveland (2010 – 2012)
Betty was only supposed to have a guest spot in the pilot episode of TV Land’s surprise hit Hot In Cleveland, but she charmed her way into a lead role as snarky Elka, a caretaker whose shenanigans keep her tenants on their toes.
Betty White is America’s favorite naughty Golden Girl!! Reinvented her career and working at 90. A fine creation of her generation of entertainer. Happy Birthday!
Before Ricky Gervais turns the Beverly Hilton into a repository of upset faces on Sunday night, we’ve decided to give you some help. We wanted to create the ultimate primer for winning petty bets with friends. When the camera pans to Mel Gibson quietly sobbing inside, you should be able to count up all of the endless dares and small favors from friends who didn’t even know “Episodes” was a TV show. So read carefully, dare liberally, and don’t blame us when all of these end up wrong.
Who Should Win: Game of Thrones. To put it simply, it’s a well-done retelling of a story many had already heard. Plus, it has an unwieldy fan base, copious critical acclaim, and features a gratuitous, borderline offensive orgy in such a classy way that you won’t feel dirty about it. That should be enough reason alone.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Selection: Homeland. Showtime’s political-intrigue drama is a critics’ darling. It’s also fresh blood, which the HFPA favors, and under the radar enough to be considered a shocking choice. It’ll also give the HFPA the cred it desperately covets, because the Globes isn’t just some celebrity roast/booze-fest, people.
(Yes, it is.)
Ballsiest. Biggest Scrotum. Largest Man Area. You Get the Drift Award: Boardwalk Empire had an uneven season but managed to shock everyone and everyone’s mother by killing off one of their most loved characters, baby gangster Jimmy Darmody.—Sheila Dichoso
Who Should Win: ”Episodes.” In many ways this show probably reflects the experience of your average Hollywood Foreign Press member who was raised with certain perceptions about Hollywood only to find a city full of sociopaths who want to get rich overnight—exploiting the victims who arrive here daily in search of fame, fortune and the love Daddy never gave them. It’s no surprise that TV shows about showbiz rarely work Stateside; most of us don’t want to know the “how” behind what we’re watching, we just want to laugh at the talking box. (Before you say it, “Entourage” doesn’t count. That was more bromantic comedy than an example of the Hollywood sausage production line.).
But Episodes ventured underneath the shiny La La Land veneer and it’s no wonder the HFPA noticed: It took two earnest BBC comedy writers from London and thrust them in the middle of the labyrinth known as the studio system in LA with Joey Tribbiani as their only guide. As Beverly and Sean Lincoln, accomplished Britcom veterans Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan were delightfully awkward as they were forced to systematically compromise their values, ethics and even marital vows all for the possibility that their Hollywood dream come true. And as a Machiavellian version of himself (we hope), Matt Le Blanc showed us that his range (among other things) extended far beyond the limits of sandwiches and how you doin’, and that we liked our Le Blanc a little le noir.
In a year when the other choices provided more of the same (good quality, mind you…just good same), Episodes felt like watching a Faustian deal deliciously unravel before our eyes. With the cliffhanger that their pilot got picked up, the HFPA and we have to wait to watch what happens when the American Dream comes true, even to a couple of foreigners, but we’re probably going to be watching through our fingers.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Selection: With powerhouse performances by a dynamic ensemble led by the incomparable Laura Dern under the direction of such visionary yet quirky auteurs as Miguel Arteta and Mike White, Enlightened is a cable diamond amongst the coal that currently sullies broadcast comedies. With the show’s hilarious contemplation on the struggles of finding fulfillment and purpose in a corporate-run world draped in a Disney aesthetic, the HFPA would find themselves the joke should they choose to ignore this future television classic…or maybe they wouldn’t. I don’t know. Even though I adore all involved, I seriously only learned of this show yesterday and I watch television for a living, so #teamjoey all the way.
Who Should Win Because They Have the Same Arguments We’re Having With Our Family: Modern Family. Sweet Baby Cheeses. One of the reasons this show is so funny is because half the show is the stupid stuff over which you get in the most useless fights with your loved ones. Competing trophy heights, whether or not to help your kids with their science project, your husband complaining that his lifetime supply of razors has run out. It’s sometimes a struggle to remember that we still love these people with whom we share a home. We’d list more examples, but it’s time to go home and find the secret cameras the show’s writers have obviously installed to record our fights for future plotlines.–Martin Moakler
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama
All of my friends hate me right now, but I swear it’s not my fault. It’s not my fault they didn’t listen to me from the get-go and started watching Revenge late in the season. It’s not my fault they just discovered how completely smart, wicked and fun Revenge can be. And it’s certainly not my fault that they were hooked to the point of sleepless nights, lost weekends, and the occasional missed day of work.
No it’s not my fault—it’s Madeline Stowe’s. Her work on Revenge is a master class in icy stares and cutting, nuanced delivery. The show may have hooked us with Emily Thorne’s elaborate takedowns of her enemies, but the heart of the show, as broken as it may be, is Madeline Stowe’s Victoria Grayson. Stowe could have easily played her as the irredeemable villainess that she is, but as much as I’m not supposed to empathize with Victoria, it’s hard not to when such sadness permeates every crooked smile she flashes on screen. Just watch the scene below and tell me this isn’t one of the best performances on television.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Selection: Claire Danes, Homeland
Claire Danes has already proven to the world that she’s not Angela Chase. We don’t need to keep rewarding her for it.
Who Would Win if We Lived in a Parallel Universe Where Steve Carell Hosted the Golden Globes Instead of Ricky Gervais: Anna Torv, Fringe
Does the Hollywood Foreign Press not want to hang out with the cast of Fringe? As much as I love Madeline Stowe, if I had my way Anna Torv would be going home with this award. She’s now played 5 different versions of the same character! (Olivia, Fauxlivia, Fauxlivia pretending to be Olivia, New Olivia, and New Fauxlivia by my count.) And each one is clearly Olivia, but with different shadings that make them unique, fully realized human beings. Does she have to play a sixth Olivia to finally get some recognition?
A lot of people are talking about Tim Tebow right now, saying his ability to overcome his slightly lady-like throwing motion to win games at the last second is the most miraculous fit of perseverance seen by an inherently limited person in years. They’re saying it’s the entertainment equivalent of Judy Dench showing up on Work It! to tell racist jokes about transgendered people in order to save the show.
But they’re wrong. Nobody in this world is doing more with less than Alec Baldwin. Here’s proof.
Check out this clip from Conan, where he readily admits that Tracy Morgan doesn’t even read his lines before he says them on camera. Alec Baldwin is in scenes with this guy all the time. And he is masterful.
Look, we know he got thrown off a plane for using his cell phone and being sort of terrible. But his performance is borderline Herculean and he doesn’t want anybody to know it. The least we can do is give Alec Baldwin a tiny, shiny globe.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Selection: Matt Leblanc, probably. Martin has said some glowing things about this show already, so I don’t want to step all over it. Truth is, this show is so very inside baseball. I don’t even really like inside baseball shows about baseball. It’s still a little devastating to know that Ted Williams may have been ornery and awful that whole time. I don’t want to experience that with TV comedy unless it’s an other-worldly experience that teaches me things about myself, like “The Office” or “Extras.”
But Hollywood? I know Hollywood is terrible. I would like it to be presented less terribly, if given the opportunity. Anyone who has ever walked by a Hollywood restaurant or club where there are “Episodes” types littered everywhere, like teeth on the ground at a carnival, would never want to be reminded of this experience on a weekly basis.
But I think Former Joey wins here, which is a little fascinating. Can’t wait until Lisa Kudrow pulls off that Grammy for a very serious folk album that she’s ironically titled “Smelly Cat.” That’s the only thing that can happen next.
The “Let’s Just Keep Embarrassing Ourselves by Giving This Show Another Award” Award: Johnny Galecki, The Big Bang Theory
This show is going to age like a jug of milk in a sauna in a meth lab.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama
Who Should Win: Steve Buscemi or Bryan Cranston. This is a two-person category that can only be ruined by voters outthinking themselves.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Choice: …Probably somebody else! Ruin accomplished! There’s buzz that Kelsey Grammar, who was in a schlocky, low-budget, straight-to-DVD Michael Moore parody film just three years ago, might win this category. That’s fine. Steve Buscemi was in “Billy Madison,” anyway. But Cranston deserves this. He’s been transcendent for years now. Give him some due. He wasn’t even Globe nominated the year he won his first Emmy.
Number of Pages You Have to Go Through on Google Image Search Until You Find a Guy Named Jeremy Ironing When You Search for “Jeremy Irons:” 73. That took much longer than I anticipated.—Ben Collins
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy
Who Should Win: Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”)
“Leslie Knope 2012″ should be the motto for every Parks and Rec. fan—whether it’s for City Council or Golden Globe. As mentioned in our 2011 end-of-year review of the show, Ms. Poehler has had a breakthrough season filled with campaigns, relationships, and hijinks that no one other than she could play with such heart and conviction. The character of Leslie Knope has evolved past the shadow of Michael Scott and “The Office” gang and has really pushed the show to new levels, making Thursday nights on NBC something to talk about once again. With her superb reviews, and critical recognition for the show in the past (with, not to mention, 5 Emmy nominations in the same category) I’m thinking her first GG nomination will be enough to have Amy bring home the Golden statue.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Selection: Laura Dern (“Enlightened”)
This one was a toss up. Both Tina Fey, and Laura Linney could easily be in this category because of their past recognition. But since “30 Rock” hasn’t been on TV since last spring and “The Big C” got canceled this past year, that Laura Dern and her critical darling “Enlightened” (which I’m not even going to pretend I have seen) deserve the coveted Snobby, Sophisticated Selection.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Laura Dern. I mean, “Jurassic Park?: Come on! Pay cable’s “comedramas”—the ones that are better than average dramedies—about a broken women turning their lives around in an extreme way? Love them! But to say that Laura Dern is the best comedic performance out of this extremely talented group of women? Nope.
Then again, Edie Falco was up for a GG just last year for her dramatic role in sister Showtime “comedrama” (we’re going to make this work, damnit) “Nurse Jackie,” so don’t count the Dern out.
The “Best New Artist Effect” Selection: Zooey Deschanel (“New Girl”)
I hate to bring another crappy awards show into the mix, but since Zooey is also in the band She & Him, I feel like it’s valid. The Grammys tend to have this problem with the “Best New Artist” category, where they nominate artists that have been around for plenty of years, but have just come into the mainstream, hence making them a “Best New Artist” nominee for the random, old record execs who tend to vote for the Grammys and heard them on the radio a couple times on KROQ. In recent years, you’ve heard this from Bon Iver, Florence + the Machine, Kings of Leon, etc.
Unfortunately, Zooey is in that category. Now that she is on a network television show, and now that she has hit the true mainstream, her overly Zooey, awkward, hipsteresque “cuteness” that we have seen in many movies and guest stints on TV over the years has taken over the minds of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and turned it a bit mushy. I’ll admit the nomination is completely valid (although, she wouldn’t make my top 5). She makes that show what it is, and people watch it. For her to win? Not so valid.—Gabe Pasillas
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Jessica Lange (American Horror Story)
Kelly MacDonald (Boardwalk Empire)
Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey)
Sofia Vergara (Modern Family)
Evan Rachel Wood (Mildred Pierce)
Who Should Win: Downton Abbey is this destructive force that will tear down entire awards shows, one Spanish flu at a time. There’s really no reason to assume Maggie Smith wouldn’t stop that. She’s the best actress on any TV, even if most of the TVs watching this aren’t in this country.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Choice: For some reason, there have been grumblings that American Horror Story’s Jessica Lange might win this instead. If that’s true, we’ll have to change “snobby, sophisticated choice” to something much, much different next year.
The First Time Anyone Has Ever Said “I’m Just Happy to Be Nominated Amongst These Performances” And Meant It Award: Sofia Vergara.—Ben Collins
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones)
Paul Giamatti (Too Big to Fail)
Guy Pearce (Mildred Pierce)
Tim Robbins (Cinema Verite)
Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family)
Who Should Win: Tim Robbins
Ironically enough, if I were choosing candidates based on which film was the snobby, sophisticated selection, Cinema Verite would far and away take the cake on that front. Everything about this film wreaks of esoteric, erudite plushness and film school art-house edification. But since we are basing our selection on the actor himself and not the film, Tim Robbins remains duly justified as my no. 1 pick for Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries, Series, or Motion Picture made for Television.
“Cinema Verite,” an HBO drama about the making of “An American Family” tells the behind-the-scenes story of how America’s first reality-TV series came to fruition, and the drama that ensued between the Louds and the show’s creator. It would be a shameless, film-snob ploy for me to pick Tim Robbins based on the fact that this made for TV movie documents the very show that changed the face of TV forever, anointed a new breed of celebrity, and paved the way for modern reality TV shows like “Jersey Shore,” “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” “The Osbornes,” etc.
But there are no ploys here. Tim Robbins deserves the award for best actor because he truly nails the part of Bill Loud. His style, his mannerisms, the tone of his voice, the accent, gestures and physical expression are a dead ringer for the famous 1970s TV father figure. Bottom line: Tim Robbins is a genius character actor, and he deserves this award for mastering the art of “acting” the part of another human being.
The Snobby, Sophisticated Selection: Paul Giamatti
This made-for-TV film is an edgy, “Smartest Guy in the Room”-flavored drama chronicling the financial meltdown of 2008 (and centering on Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson), and it couldn’t possibly have a more intimidating line-up of incendiary, character-driven lead male actors James Woods, William Hurt, John Heard, Billy Crudup, Bill Pulllman, Tony Shalhoub, Topher Grace, and Ed Asner. How Paul Giamatti got nominated amidst this fiercely talented crew of equally-eligible co-horts is sheer dumb luck in my book. And I would die a salty, crusty death a thousand times over if I ever saw Paul Giamatti play anything other than the same overstimulated, highly-characterized, borderline xenophobic version of himself that is endemic to 99% of his character roles. But that being said, in the age of Occupy Wall Street, the collapse of the Eurozone, and the highest unemployment rate for young people in the history of this country, somehow this movie strikes a relevant, highly-focused chord with American audiences. It therefore deserves credit and attention where it is due (even if it’s in the unruly form of awarding Paul Giamatti with the award for best supporting actor).
The “Wait, That Guy From Modern Family Isn’t Actually Gay?” Award: Eric Stonestreet.
Somehow winning a Golden Globe just doesn’t do him justice. Something more along the lines of the Nobel Prize would be more fitting.—Brooke Citron
Anna Torv did play a 6th “Olivia”… when she was ‘posessed’ (kinda) by William Bell. I didn’t like the story line very much, but she did a great Nimoy impoersonation — for a girl :)
By Far!!!! Anna Torv is way overdue to have won an award. I really do not understand what’s the deal there!!! But, she is our favorite. She is magnificent! Great characterization, interpretations, acting, etc. etc.!!!
Even though I really do like Zooey Deschanel, New Girl is a pretty lame show. Come on is that the best you can do. I know television has been around much too long and it is obvious the writers are having a tough time coming up with fresh material, but they really had a chance with Zooey. Just me, I can be much too critical and I used to really love TV before this reality bullshit, and shows like, Before I Met My Mother. The dumming down of America has really taken effect.

Betty White is America’s favorite naughty Golden Girl!! Reinvented her career and working at 90. A fine creation of her generation of entertainer. Happy Birthday!
This is the worst attempt at an homage to Betty. Terrible clips.
