Welcome to the Second Annual UD Media Awards - 2007! Of course we talk about movies more than anything around here, so those have their own thread. As with last year, this second thread allows us to honor our favorites in other mediated forms of entertainment... television, music, and literature in particular. Once all the nominations and votes are out of the way, the Movie and Media Awards are presented together in one grand ceremony.
This is the first stage, in which you all get to submit nominations in the following categories (and those categories only). You may submit up to 5 nominations in each category (you may nominate less than 5, but no more than that). Please only nominate things with which you are familiar (i.e. have seen, heard, and/or read). The same submission may be made for multiple categories. I will make the final call on the eligibility of questionable submissions. These are the '07 awards because that's when they'll take place, but everything comes from 2006!
Last year we ended up only presenting television awards because the music and books didn't get enough votes. I'll look to see how many nominations are made in each category over the next few days and make a call on whether they'll be included for this year.
You have until 11:59pm (Eastern time) Wednesday, January 24 to submit your nominees. You may edit your votes up until that time but not after. Any posts edited after the deadline will have to be disqualified. The nominees will be announced shortly thereafter.

The nominations period has closed. Please do not edit any posts in this thread going forward. Any posts edited after 11:59pm (eastern time) tonight (1/24/07) will be disqualified).
I'll unsticky this now. Look for the nominees to be announced soon.
