From Ben & Jennifer to ‘The Kiss’ … ‘VH1 Big in ‘03’ Offers an Irreverent Tribute to a Year of Pop Culture
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ — From Bush on the flight deck to Michael Jackson in his tree, from Ashton and Demi to Queer Eye’s Fab Five, from freedom fries to gastric bypasses, “VH1 Big in ‘03” is a total recall of 2003 — jamming the biggest people, moments and trends of the year into one enormous spectacle.
Taped at Los Angeles’ Universal Amphitheatre on November 20, “VH1 Big in ‘03” is a two-hour comedy/variety show that will celebrate, comment on, and otherwise skewer the biggest people, trends and moments of this year. Doing away with the traditional awards show format, VH1 will give awards for categories that capture the year in music, news, politics, arts, and gossip. “VH1 Big in ‘03” airs on VH1 November 30 at 9 pmÖ
A tribute to The Year That Was, “VH1 Big in ‘03” will offer a guided travelogue through a dozen categories:
* THE BIG WOW MOMENT OF ‘03
Brief but potent events that stopped us in our tracks and had us talking all year long.
* REALLY BIG REALITY STAR
Whether they won or lost, the reality stars who vaulted to celebrity this year.
* BIG ENTERTAINER
They dominated the charts, crossed into multiple fields and set a new standard for success.
* THE BIG ONE-LINER
Newsmakers who stood up and spoke their minds, for better or worse, no matter the cost.
* BIGGEST CELEBRITY TREND
They happen every year and, like good sheep, we love to follow them.
* BIG ON THE WEB
The obsessive time-wasters on the Internet that had us losing sleep.
* BIGGEST GAY HERO
In a year when gay culture went mainstream, they came out big.
* MADE IT BIG
Persistence finally paid off, and 2003 was the year they were on everyone’s radar.

In the spirit of an Irish wake, celebrating those who shed their mortal coils in 2003.
