We can be a pretty dour bunch at times. <BR/><BR/>Maybe if people were nominated in fewer categories, that would make the split ticket issue less annoying. I liked that some people were pulling for other blogs they liked.

If there is a group opinion that 2nd and third should get a mention on the "winners page" I can certainly add that.

And, people are more likely to vote their actual opinion rather than picking from the top couple of vote getters in order not to "waste" a vote.
