Where are the nominees?

hi dave you can just choose randomly which ones you like best, i think there are too many to list.

I have the same question as Dave. So, may I suggest that CPod set a deadline to get all nominees submitted; and then to simplify things, during that week before the Oscars, announce the top 5 nominees of each category (just like the Oscars) and then everyone can vote. What do you guys think?

AZERDoc, Genius Idea. I nominate you for best idea on how to structure a fun contest. Two other categories: Best actor in a podcast dialogue Best actress in a podcast dialogue That Oscar statue with the hat is classic.

Best user post: The message from Lantian the day he returns (sniff)

Any lesson, or within a time period? If it is only within 2007, then DVD Ploy will have to wait for next year for top comedy.

Hi guys, Its just a big free for all. Submit your votes for anything on the site to date in the categories above! We will tally and announce the winners on the Wednesday after Oscar night--February 27! Voting cut off is Wednesday at noon, Shanghai time!

That's quite a controversial trophy design.

Best lesson: library card Best Comedy: Bazza Best User post: this one

Do the winners get one of those statues? That would be killer. I'd pay good money for one of those.

I think today's lesson has a good chance at the best photo. :)

Perhaps you should invent a new award instead of a modified Oscar trophy. MTV do a Popcorn trophy CPod should do... Any suggestions?

I suggest making a trophy comprised of the four tones \V/ but underlined (to include the first tone) Cpod prestigous Four Tone Award. What do you think?

Or we could have shaped like the logo?

cool, I thought this was a cross-section of a rat.in some sort of solidifed preservative! But good idea.:-)

I would like to nominate Henning for Best User Post for his Grammar Point Series. Tons of work and dedication in this that we can all benefit from.

Second on nomination for Henning's grammar post... already has my vote. Bazza, your crazy, creative statue reminds me of some of the unfortunate small animals around here that were a tad slow crossing the road... :-)

那是 强人所难 !
