Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) 2009. What a year eh? Rokhed proved too much and left, we all fell in love with Molly, Eenuh and Flink were so loved up it made us want to punch a baby, Soag had a baby (don't worry, we won't punch it), Mokong got married and Erin14 showed us all what we had been missing; the greatness of Bomberman Blast. Below are the results for the 2009 awards. More awards than ever before and released in the first month of the year, rather than eventually dribbled out some point near the end. We tried something different with these this year and in a few weeks I'll post a discussion asking people what they thought did/didn't work so we can improve for next year but with no further ado ladies and gentlemen I present to you......

Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge. It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox. And it's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened. Edited January 14, 2010 by Paj! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
