There is one award in which there is a clear winner. There are approximately twenty nominees for this award (I'm not saying which award it is) and all of them, except one, have only one nomination each. "The exception" (as they will now be called) has all the other votes.

This means there is no top five for this one award.

Now, I know nominations aren't closed so it might end up that it doesn't matter but judging by how things are at the moment it's doubtful.

So what I propose is this:

I'm going to take this category out of the main voting and name the exception the winner. I'll not be naming the winner until the awards night, but I'll also not be opening the award up for the public vote. When voting starts I'm sure you'll be able to work out which award it is as it'll be the only one missing but the winner will remain a secret until Awards Night.

Do you agree? If you disagree then please say so in comments here. You must give me a good enough reason as to why I should not just let the exception win and you have to tell me how to choose the other four nominees.

So gentle viewer I leave the decision in your hands.

Okay, I'm bowing to pressure here so for one and only time during this years Bloscars™ here is a list of all those people who have been nominated so far. Now, when I say so far what I mean is that I still haven't finished going through all the forms I've had in! If your name isn't here that doesn't mean you haven't been nominated, it might mean I haven't got to it on the nominations yet! If you name is here that doesn't mean you'll be up for an award. For that to happen you have to be in the top five for that category.

If your name is there and what you want to know what you've been nominated for well I'm afraid that's tough because I'm not telling. Unless of course you have some substantial to offer me by way of a bribe. (Juzzzy Jake Andy CJ Maddogs Ryan all blog men, I'm thinking 30 minutes alone should cover it! - Ladies you'll have to use your imagination!)

Thank you to everyone who has voted so far. If you haven't voted yet there is still time. You have until January 31st 23:59:59 to be precise. Any nominations received after that will be ignored I'm afraid.

Isn't it strange, I already have plans for the 2009 Bloscars yet the 2008 ones aren't over yet! The awards ceremony will be an evening affair again but I'll tell you more about that nearer the time.

So until next time, here's that list so many of you asked to see...
