ITT, we discuss/vote/bitch about The Second Annual Tumbleweed Awards

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

Because it's ILX tradition to obliquely refer to CaB once every three months, and we may as well continue this on the sandbox.

Remember that last years awards can be seen at http://chilled.cream.org/tumbleweed/

Thank you to everyone who has nominated and helped in the nomination process. Now get those votes in.

PLEASE NOTE: Votes will only be counted if they are sent to me at waynecarr@gmail.com, and please try to put the word "Tumbleweeds" in your subject line so I can filter on it. To register your vote in each category, simply put an asterix next to your choice, or mark it in some other easily identifiable way.

Voting will close soon, so please don't delay.

You should have done more comments, Dom.

I have absolutely no idea who at least half of the people listed even are.

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Monday, 4 December 2006 10:07 (seventeen years ago) link

The Hancock, KYTV, and Vic 'n' Bob DVD nominations are, I believe, due to bad editing/cutting entire scenes out/ the usual "This'll do, right?" approach to putting out old TV shows out" (KYTV was dick anyway, but the other two deserved better).
