Here's a link to a late November article by reviewer on predictions for the nominations themselves, which is interesting in retrospect-

Are you hoping for "PANTS!"...?

Good to see you around.

 

[Villano]

Are you hoping for "PANTS!"...?

Good to see you around.

Good to be seen around. lol

I'm still waiting for the word "Member" under my name to be replaced with "God Of Pants!".

Use the Pants, Luke!

In all the Pants, in all the world, she had to walk into mine.

It's the stuff Pants are made of.

Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a Pants.

Your money or your Pants!

It's alive! It's alive! By Pants, now I know what it's like to be Pants!

Don't put that in your Pants, you don't know where it's been.

 

[Mark CMG]

That's a lotta pants!



I wonder if we will get any more entrants... What does everyone feel about us picking a cut off date a bit sooner than simply the night before the awards? Is it giving folks too much time to leave it up to the last minute, or does it not matter?

 

[Mark]

One more day for guessing what will win the awards. After this weekend we're going to be seeing all of the big name critics coming out with their picks and I want everyone here to have had the same input, roughly. Anyone here a wiz with spreadsheets that wants to coordinate the answers of all of the participants? I'll try to make it worth your while with a little something extra in the gaming goodies department...

Is it still open to vote?

 

[Mistwell]

Sure! Go for it.
