The party of all parties has come to an end in Wellington but who were the winners from the whole ordeal. Tvnz.co.nz has at least some of the answers.

The Peter Jackson award for best execution in costume goes to...

The Avatar crew faced stiff competition from the Jizkdz Condoms but ultimately their attention to detail and eerie similarity to those virtual sensations was too hard to ignore. Respect, James Cameron would be proud of you.

The Oscar the Grouch best use of trash award goes to...

The Pac-Men for painting boxes they stole from Pac n' Save and then using them to clean up the Stadium. You're so green and clean and it makes us proud.

The Generation Y tech-savy award goes to...

The Facebook girls - who successfully liked everything they saw and proved that there is more to life than social networking websites.

The Michael Jackson Man in the Mirror award goes to...

With at least 10 jailbird gangs doing the rounds you could be excused for thinking that they were indeed the new black.

The Kanye West we know we're the best award goes to...

The 102 Dalmatians: Who oozed self-importance and reached their ultimate goal - 16 minutes of fame.

The West Side is the Best side award goes to...
|
Block Ten was owned by Samoan and Fijian fans that were chipper throughout the whole day. And who couldn't blame them? Everyone loves a winner.

The Mille Holmes stuff the rugby award goes to...
|
The Speights float zone where kids got down to filthy house beats and partied like it was 1999.

The President Obama yes we (I) can award goes to...

THE streaker who interrupted the Australian and Scottish game on day one. He showed blockbusting pace to get to the halfway line and his six month ban from the Stadium is a sweet trade off for all his newfound infamy.

The Fair Go award for best interlude goes to..

Michael Jackson's Thriller rocked the shop during the night parade on day one and proved that Michael is still - so hot right now.

The Shane Watson award for the most hated team goes to...

It's always hard being the big brother and don't the Australians know it. The boos and heckles they got throughout the tournament was not of envy but of pity. Now they know how England feels when they tour the great country.

The Kinder Surprise award goes to...

Team Canada may have may have been smashed by England in the Cup quarter-finals by 31 points but they shocked everyone by beating France and Argentina on day one. Kudos to you Canada!

The All Blacks award for biggest chokers goes to...

Now tvnz.co.nz realises that this won't be a popular award but the New Zealand teams lame submission in the Cup semi-finals to the Samoans was Cardiff all over again. They were simply outhustled and despite still leading the World Series, they have now not won their home title in two years.

The LeBron James MVP award goes to...

Who other than the brilliant Fijian William Ryder who scored the match-turning try against the South Africans and was a class above all in the epic final against Samoa. Time to test your skills in the 15-aside game William; your country is still selecting Nicky Little.
