Holy crap, I don’t believe it. Postal, the cinematic disaster directed by Uwe Boll that opened on only four screens and spurred a mass exodus of 200 people from a theatre where the film was being shown for free, has won the “Best of Show” award at the Hoboken International Film Festival, according to a press release from Postal developer Running with Scissors.

Postal’s Executive Producer, Vince Desi, tried to play the win off as the fans being heard — but you know he was shitting himself, too.

When the fans speak, WE WIN… We know this from our experience in the game industry and now the film business just confirms it. The continued success of the POSTAL franchise in all its forms is proof that democracy works; you cannot stop what’s in the hearts of the people. Freedom will always triumph over tyranny.

If that isn’t enough, Uwe Boll won the “Best Director” award. I am without words.

The film was nominated for three other awards: Best Supporting Actor (Dave Foley), Best Script and Best Editing.

Postal III will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC sometime in 2009.
