Nominations are still on-going for the Mickey Awards... With the move to the new boards, not much has changed other than that you can PM me here as well.
Well, one other thing has changed... Some members are using different screen-names here than they did on DS. I'd be very grateful if those members could post in this thread and name their DS screen-name, both so that I don't get too confused, and so that everyone else will know as well
What’s new/different this year (other than the above stated)? As always there have been some deletions and additions to the categories, but more about that in a minute. There are two main changes that I want to make you aware of:
* Last year’s winners are not eligible in the category they won, and neither are the people who won the year before that. I will post the names of these members for each category, so don’t worry about not knowing who they are.
* In the “Most Obsessed: Movies” category, series of films now count as a franchise. For instance if I’m a huge fan of “Toy Story” and of “Toy Story 2” you would nominate me for the “Toy Story” franchise. This is so that no one can keep winning for the same franchise every year, just altering the movie they are nominated for. This also goes for movie obsessions in the “Non-Disney” category. The exception is if a member is known to love only one film in a franchise, for instance if I love TS2 but dislike the original.
So let’s go over the rules before we get to the fun part:
1) You may only nominate members who have been active on the boards since October 1st of this year.
2) Do not nominate yourself. Any and all nominations you receive will become null and void if you do that.
3) You don’t have to nominate for each category. If you can’t think of someone to nominate, then leave that category blank.
4) Please refrain from nepotism. Nominate based on who is the best choice for each category, and not based on who is your best friend or any other reason.
5) I am the only one who will see who you nominate, so please do not try to suck up to someone when nominating people, because s/he will not see it.
6) Sucking up to me won’t work either. I’ve already placed my nominations, so nominating me won’t make me nominate you in return. In other words, do not feel pressured that you have to nominate me.
7) The Most Obsessed: Male/female/movie/non-Disney categories are an exception to the “no winners from 2008/2007” rule, sort of. For these awards you can nominate the winners from the past two years, but not for the same character/movie/non-Disney obsession. For example, Wendy’s Jane cannot be nominated for Elizabeth Swann this year, but he can be nominated for any other female character.
8) For the Best Role-Player category, you may only nominate members who have participated in two RPGs on the RPG forum (or one murder game and one RPG in the RPG forum).
10) Campaigning for yourself = major no-no :nono: Any member caught campaigning will be removed from the ballot, and by campaigning I mean things along the lines of “please nominate/consider me for so and so category”, be it in posts or in your signature. Any “over the top” behavior also falls under this category, whether it is organizing parades for every new member, talking about your obsessions non-stop, or opening every post with a joke. Please save all members (especially the mod squad!) a lot of headache and don’t campaign.
In addition: If you want to nominate a member for a superlative, then send this nomination to me along with your other nominations.
Now comes the fun part For each category I will post the nominees from last year, with the winner’s name being in blue. The winner from 2007 will also be posted in blue.

Your nominations must be in my inbox before December 2nd. Since I’m on CET time, I will be accepting nominations up until I log on the next morning, which is roughly at midnight for those of you on the West Coast. But I suggest you send me your nominations in good time rather than wait until the last minute.
The final ballot will be posted on December 6th.
I will also shortly be posting a copy of the most important info from the pre-planning thread. If you have any questions, about that or anything else, feel free to PM me.
Cheerio!
