The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences and the Independent Film Channel today announce a partnership to bring the 12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards to a television screen near you.
The 12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards will be taking place on Thursday, February 19th at the Red Rock in Las Vegas, Nevada, but you won’t have to fly out to Vegas to see LittleBigPlanet win all of those awards. You will, however, have to wait awhile. The Independent Film Channel will be broadcasting the IAA in the form of a half-hour special, hosted by comedian Jay Mohr, sometime in April.

It’s a nice gesture, I suppose, but will anyone really care about the awards for this year two months after they are given out? Would you tune into an obscure cable channel to watch highlights from an awards ceremony you knew the winners of two months prior?
