Well, after much hard work and careful deliberation, the final nominees for the first ever Portkey Readers' Choice Awards have been decided. Unfortunately, many excellent contenders (and even a whole category) had to be eliminated for not meeting elibility requirements (see the "Explanations, Rules, and Regulations" thread for a refresher), but my Inner Eye sees a fierce competition up ahead for those who remain. And now, without further ado, the moment you've all been waiting for...
