Thanks!
The number of nominees in a given category was determined by the number of nominations submitted for that category, with 5 being the preferable number of finalists in any given category (in the event that either 4 or 6 had to be chosen, 4 were chosen for lesser categories, and 6 were chosen for more substantial categories). In the event that either 2 or 9 nominees had to be chosen, 9 were selected in major categories only.
