The Toon Zone Awards - 2008 (Vote for the Winners)

[Zach Logan]

Hey everyone,
I know last year didn't work out so well, but we're going to be running things this time, and we'll be both fair, public, and civil about this. This thread is all in good appreciation, and we really do thank everyone who comes to this site, but there's also nothing wrong with a little recognition (some props, so to speak), and this thread has been an institution here, so I and PurpleHairedWonder will be running this years award thread. We're also going to be speeding things up this year!

Here's the rundown:
1) Your final picks must be PMed or posted here by December 29th at 11:00PM EST
2) We will post the final results on or by January 1st, 2009

The Top 4 (it's easier to add up, trust me), or those tied with the top 4, are listed below...there were a lot of ties, there are some with no 4th (no duplicates)...

Here are your nominees (listed in order of most inital votes/alphabetically):

*These are choices which are not listed on the XLS because I had not voted on them, but seeing as there is no competition for some of these, or very little, I thought it may help mix up the field a little...and also because One Piece needs to get back on American television (c'mon!).

You may either PM the results to me (ZACH LOGAN) or PURPLEHAIREDWONDER OR you can post on this thread, either way is fine and either way will be counted. The final votes will be counted on the 29th.

The actual votes from the previous threads have been attached, and are anonymously listed, if what you voted ISN'T there (as in no your nominee isn't listed in one of the categories) please say so...

Remember, you have until December 29th.

Thanks, and good luck!

[Daxdiv]

Well... Copy and Paste time, and by that I mean just copy and paste the categories and erase everything but my votes.

[GWOtaku]

Huh, no Gurren Lagann for best animated show. I'm rather surprised, given the acclaim it got in its talkback.

Good luck to all nominees!*

Wouldn't count on that since

"Life is adventurous Be aware it dangerous Who going to be one of us And a trip goes on because, We're the Pirates of the Mass, To the West, To the East Gotta Find my way, Sail Away, All the Way to One Piece"

[GWOtaku]

Haha, maybe so. I'll be happy either way.

[Wolfie~Giri]

Wow, I'm surprised I even got nomm'd. Thanks you guys. :)

Hm, this is going to be tough... /thinking cap

I'd like to vote for Ed for best staff....oh, I mean...Temple....um....erg...

*can't choose*

Also...is the DC Animation Board like this gated community here on Toonzone? Cause I read through that list and recognized almost none of the people and/or events apparently worth remembering.

[.bg]

Pfft... this is obviously rigged, because I'm not in it. :p

Seriously, though:

Are all the Who's Hitler?TZ Chats* votes for Who's Hitler? Because, like, I think Zach just forgot to hit the enter key between those two options...

Ssssshh *whispers*it makes the "Who's Hitler" sound better...

[Lord Dalek]

But the thing is Who's Hitler won this award in 2006, hence it should be disqualified.

It should be noted Ed Liu is a mod, in addition to being a reporter.

[DisneyBoy]

...he also had a tremendous singing voice.

Great, no one loves me this year.

I love your avatar, if that makes you feel any better. But yes, without your Gilmore Girls-related banter in the talkback threads, you've been a little less memorable this year.

[Lazerboy5000]

Alright, let's do this.
