Message: <blockquote data-quote="Coik" data-source="post: 983376" data-attributes="member: 38">Are there archives of previous years' nominees anywhere?  Because I really want to say that, sure, the big big boys didn't dominate this year...However, seeing how memory is an imperfect thing, and the fact that I never bothered to save a copy of the nominees from year to year on the off chance I'd be arguing this sort of thing, I'd like to actually look at the hard data before I do the open mouth/insert foot thing.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I totally agree.  But really, I fail to see how giving automatic nominations will fix that...if anything, I would think that it would make the awards top-tier heavy.I just re-read what Mr. Dancy said, though, I think I should get some clarification before I go any further.  On my first read-through, I missed that he said "top selling by unit volume."  What exactly does that mean?Honestly, the only point of contention I have with this thing is that automatic nomination based on sales...I agree with pretty much everything else. (And coming from me, that's high praise)See my first reply to Monte.Out of curosity, why is this particular year so important?  Everyone keeps referencing it...Ummm...moo?  I don't see how limiting it to one nomination to a catagory, their pick, creates any sort of artifical equal footing.  It'd be the best they produced (by their judgement) competing against other peoples' best.  And if people disagree about what they picked, well...that's what write-ins are for.Edit:  Closed a tag</blockquote>
