How are nominations being handled, i.e. to create a shortlist on which to vote?

well, this is how we did it.  Mike got Junior's list of what catorgories there were...we then proceded to use the new feature at Amiright (the parodies entered by date thing) and went through every parody from August 2002 to Janurary 2003..we made a list of what parodies needed to get nominated for something (to be placed in catorgories later) and ones that were directly placed in catorgories.  Now to be completely honest, I didnt read every parody fro in between that time (it would have taken me forever), and Michael didnt either Im sure, but I figured out that I seem to remember alot of the parodies that came out in that period, and didnt need to re-read them....
For catorgories such as "Best Bo Rhap" parody, we just typed in Bohemian Rhapsody in the search function.  

Does that anser your question?

So this is going to be more like the Parody Olymics instead of the Idol bit? (Winter events, fall events...) I just suppose this will happen more than once every four years?

thats right, you werent here for the first time we did this...in July/August Junior made the first Amiright Awards..he picked the catorgories and nominees and we all voted on the winners.  Junior decided that this would be a bi-yearly thing, once in Janurary, and once in July.  A few weeks ago, Junior decided that he could not run the awards this time, so he gave control of them over to Mike.  We intend to run the award exactly like Junior did, and continue the bi-yearly tradition (that hasnt really been started yet)....

Does that answer your question?

In part: I was wondering if you'd be nominating a subset of those available.  For example, in the Bo Rhap category there's 26 songs at the moment - which I guess is manageable; but in my favourite ;-) "best Phil Alexander parody" there's 116, which is an awful lot of parodies to read through (but hey, guys, it's worth it!)
