Hi, and welcome back to the 2006 2nd Annual UltimateDisney.com Movie Awards! Many of you submitted nominations via the message board and email, which were tabulated and resulted in the finalists below. Of the nominees that follow, one in each category will be elected by you, the UD community, as a winner.
You may vote for one and only of the following finalists in each category. Please submit all votes to awallaceunc@gmail.com. Please make the subject of your email "UD MOVIE VOTES 2006". Any votes submitted on the message board or through PM will NOT be accepted.
You have until 11:59pm (Eastern Time) on Friday, February 24 to submit your votes. A thread for assigning presenters in the awards ceremony will be started soon. My apologies for the delay in posting these nominations, but the counting process was a very long and tedious one.

The number of nominees in a given category was determined by the number of nominations submitted for that category, so that each category had 3-6 finalists, with 5 being the preferable number (in the event that either 4 or 6 had to be chosen, 4 were chosen for lesser categories, and 6 were chosen for the major categories).
