*Each voting session will last a duration of two weeks. After that, polls will close on the topic and you can find out the results in here. You will still be able to respond to a topic, but your vote will not count after the poll is closed. In case of a tie, there will be a run-off of the two in the category that are in a tie. The tiebreaker voting will last only one week. Nominees are based on various information gathered by popularity, charts, awards, sales, and various other information gathered around the internet. Thanks for participating!:)

Uhm a li'l suggestion .... Wouldn't it look better if the awards were categorized after year or genre ... Like puttin' all the 80s awards next to each other in their own cluster, all the 81s next to each other in their own cluster and so forth ??? :)

Just a suggestion ;)
