A more expanded site is still to come, along with additional features and fun, and we’re very open to your feedback and thoughts. Submissions for nominations close January 23, 2009, but given how many categories there are, you definitely want to get a head start on putting together your list. For the record, I’m pretty sure Liz Gannes’ cameo in College Humor’s Head of Skate is not eligible, but go ahead and give it a shot.
