EWB Entertainment Awards 2005

[Steeb]

Firstly, I'm sorry if someone else had already planned to do this, but I'm bored, and wanted to do something to this effect anyway.

Secondly, please vote in all categories. If you miss out one or two, not so bad, but most will affect things, I think. All votes should be relative to the last year - for example, don't choose 'Permission To Land' as best album, as it wasn't released this year. The only categories this doesn't apply to are the Hall Of Fame ones.

Thirdly...get voting

Alright, so, get voting. I'll put my personal votes up later. I hope I haven't missed anything out, and if there are any glaring category omissions, try and let me know ASAP, so it's not too late. Again, sorry if someone had already planned to do this. Maybe, if an Entertainment Mod reads, it could get pinned? Anyway, results will be put up Late December/Early January.

Add sports... I mean, it is part of Entertainment.

And make it games in general, why just computer games?

Done and done....although I'm not sure what you mean by 'Why just Computer Games?'. Why not Board/Card Games, do you mean? I just figured that there wasn't a big enough following...

Ok, Ok... I have to just comment on one more thing...

This is directed toward SkinMySenses:

How can you vote for Metallica being the best band in 05? No CD was release, they only did a handful of tour dates, and have had no other real contribution to the industry this year. This is Entertainment Awards 05...

Any logical reasoning behind it?

And I'll post my votes sometime, I'm still stuck on some film and sports.
