Here's the Best of Shane Smith on VICE

VICE is nominated for an Emmy; watch the best of Shane Smith on YouTube to see why.

So you may have heard that our big bros over at VICE have been nominated for an Emmy. Which rules. That nomination is the result of a bunch of mind-melting, genre-bending reportage and filmmaking, all of which was helmed by VICE's intrepid top dog, CEO Shane Smith.

Without Shane Smith, there's no VICE. Without VICE, there are no hard looks into Nigerian oil pirates, no strolls through China's ginormous new ghost towns, and certainly no visits to North Korea with Dennis Rodman. Without Smith, there's no Emmy-nominated HBO show.

As such, let's take a moment to look through some of Shane Smith's best stuff—so when VICE wins that Emmy, you'll know precisely why.
