At the MuchMusic Video Awards, the video was nominated in six categories; winning awards for Best Post-production, Best Director and Best Video.

Oli defines his work as Pop Surrealism, yet has distinct views on the definition of the movement, clearly separating it from Lowbrow Art. He administers the Pop Surrealism group on Flickr where many artists working in the field congregate to display their work. Oli Goldsmith's art is exhibited internationally and represented in Canada by Michael Thomas Gallery in Port Hope, Gallery Jones in Vancouver and Parts Gallery Toronto.
