It seems (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that the judges select a field of games they think deserving of an award to go forward to the popular vote, and also make some honourable mentions to products they are not nominating for an award, but want to recognise anyway.The awards themselves obviously reflect the decision-making process of a large-ish electorate, most of whom will not have seen all of the products in any one category. So the ENnies do two things - they provide a list of products considered excellent by judges who have looked at an enormous quantity of product and made considered judgements, and then they show which of those products is most popular and which companies can market their products best! I'm a Paizo fan, and it's amazing to see them do so well - but they'd done exceptionally well even before the voting by having so much nominated, and any company with a nomination is bound to be feeling very proud, and rightly so, regardless of the 'results'.</blockquote>
