    If the nomination totals are anything to go by, we have several front-runners for several awards. This Ciddies might not be so surprising after all. In some awards, there's a +2 gap between front-runner and the second placed member, often even more than that!

    Either this will be a ciddies where the nominations pretty much reflect the winners, or the nominations will be turned on their head for most awards. I'm going for the former with this one.

    This is normal. Every year, though, we get winners who only received two nominations... this is why we have nominations in the first place.

    It's possible that people don't always nominate the "most obvious" candidates, in order to get recognition to more people/get a wider nominee pool.

    Del Murder once didn't nominate me for Best Member because he thought I'd be a guaranteed finalist (and he stated he was going to vote for me, too). I only got one nomination and was cut.

    Del Murder won.

    When are the results coming?

    I need to know that my hard work on both nominating and voting paid off.

    Some speeches still need to be written so I imagine once they're done things will probably move along much faster... *cough* *hint*

    I suppose now is a good time to confess I have no idea what Veronica Mars even is.

    I don't think anyone does to be honest. I certainly don't.

    It was a former TV show yes, but the award is referencing a huge Kickstarter project earlier this year to help raise money for a Veronica Mars movie, where someone who donated $10,000 would get a one-line speaking role as an extra.

    I think running the Ciddies have that effect. It would explain why I randomly swept them the year I was running them and then promptly faded back into digital obscurity after that.
