Most of the larger agencies still don't have a solid interactive department, most things are outsourced. Especially projects like this. And if you've ever worked with a large agency on a project that integrates shooting footage with an online campaign, most need their hands held, and most of the project's development winds up in the smaller shop's hands.
Having met Mike (via telephone anyway), and having gone through the agency ringer a few times, I really don't think this is an ego thing. More likely, it's the buildup of frustration having spent a number of years building your company, finding the right people, believing in them and helping them do the best work they can, only to not see them get the recognition, if even for a tiny moment at Cannes. C'mon that sucks.
That said, yeah i think we all agree that the award stuff is a sham to begin with and not very important. But ffs, you go through the nightmare of working on the project, birth it after countless headaches and revisions and stupid questions, and it comes out really friggin great. And then you buy the tickets for you and your team to go France, and blah blah, and you get a kick in the ass. Yeah it's frustrating. I still give him snaps for poking them in the eye a little.
