Hi WTFers!

The WTF! Forum Awards have returned and this time there'll be a few changes. The main differences are that we'll be focusing more on Bret and Jemaine's projects throughout the year, particularly the 2010 Spring Mostly European Tour and this year there'll be a shortlist of nominations for each category for you to choose from. These awards have been put in place to celebrate the past year and to look forward to what's in store next year. Hopefully these awards will be more accessible for everybody to take part as it will ultimately involve ticking a box and you'll be able to vote for as many categories as you want. Here's the list of categories:

*since the spandex outfits won the Smackdowns, they will be ineligible to be voted for.
And by 'Meet & Greet', I just mean any encounter with Bret, Jemaine and a Conchord Cohort during the tour. It doesn't have to be during a planned meet and greet.

So now I'd like to welcome you all to submit nominations for each category to be considered for the shortlist. You can submit up to 5 nominations per award category for as many categories as you want. If you really want see particular moments on the shortlist then you must submit your nominations for them in case they are overlooked by others!

Remember this isn't the final vote, this is just an opportunity for you to submit suggestions for the shortlists and once each category's shortlist has been decided, a new thread will be created with details on how you can submit your final votes.

You have until 17 December 2010 to submit your nominations. You can either send me a private message or post them in this thread.

Feel free to ask any questions!

It's times like this I wish I was on the dole again!

This will be fun! The guys have been busy this year. Thanks for putting this together, Venus!

"She can't hear us. We're stage whispering!"
"I can hear you."
"No, you can't."

"I've seen more life in the Wellington Botanic Garden!"

Yay, awards!


I know, I could easily spend hours making nominations for all these categories. I'm thinking I'll just do a few at a time... we have until the 17th, right?

Yep, you can do a few at a time until the 17th cos I know that's a long list to get through all at once!

Bret and Jemaine have been very busy which is why we have so much to celebrate this year!

Favorite line on The Simpsons: Lisa:"It's so cold", Jemaine: "Yeah, it's part of our art" *gunshots* "More art."

Favorite Simpsons song: The Rap!! The rap, the rap, the rap!!

Best Tour T-Shirt:

Most Enviable Meet & Greet Photo with Bret: The picture of Bret and Venus

Most Tragic Tour Moment: When there was no M&G for the girls in Hollywood

Thank you so much for your nominations so far!

Also, many thanks to MM for designing the banner for the awards which I've just included in the first post and my signature!

MM! That banner is greatness! Is Jemaine wearing long elegant gloves?!? I'm surprised you didn't get more carried away with the shading of Bret's crotch.

toooooo funny

No, I put his tutu on over his tee shirt. It's like the picture - is it an old man or a young lady? Are there gloves or is it a tee-shirt?

As for Bret's nethers, there actually was an errant eraser mark in that area until I did the final clean-up.

I definitely see gloves...and ankle socks.
