The DVD Exclusive Awards were special awards given to movies and TV shows that were released straight onto DVDs. These awards celebrated films and shows that didn't first appear in movie theaters or on regular TV channels.

The awards ran from 2001 to 2006. They were organized by a magazine called DVD Exclusive. This magazine was connected to other well-known publications like Variety and Video Business. The Digital Entertainment Group (DEG) also helped present these awards.

Why Were They Important?

These awards were important because they gave recognition to a growing part of the entertainment world. They showed that even movies not released in theaters could be high quality. It was a way to celebrate different kinds of filmmaking.

Why Did They Stop?

The awards stopped in 2006. This happened because the DVD Exclusive magazine, which organized the awards, stopped being published. Without the magazine, the awards program also came to an end.
