We have 12 categories today.

Everybody has actual, tangible, physical envelopes because it's the physical media era.

Sean and the Blu-ray boys are not with us today, and yet we have something that we can hold in our hands.

This is like the first time you've said that on a podcast I've done with you this week.

Yeah, probably, even though we've only done three podcasts this week.

It might be the fifth time I've said it.

We will reveal the categories as we go through.

Everybody will be celebrating various things today.

And we open up the voting in advance to the public.

So if you're tuning in for this pod, you might think this is all a surprise, but you might already know what the categories are because you might have voted on them.

The polling was up this week before we recorded, and that means that we will be revealing for each of the 12 categories two votes.

Interesting.

Our vote, this esteemed panel.

of nerds, and then the voting from this esteemed panel.

We're a democracy party.

And then the Midnight Riders, the Bad Babies, the Button Mashers voted on TheRinger.com, what a great website, on Instagram, on Twitter, on YouTube.

And so we will be sharing the opinion of the public.

Will we agree?

Did we agree with each other?

Are there going to be some controversial ties?
