VUZU Amp received the rights to film and produce this one-time-only exclusive TV special. If you didn’t make it to this year’s awards, it’ll be like you were there! Catch highlights from the show, including the sketches, stand-up, celebrity performances, glitz and fashion. And of course see all the winners accepting their Waldo statuettes.
