We are still just working on Nominations right now. Voting for the eventual winners will happen in polls attached to future diaries.
Below the fold is the list of the categories and instructions about making nominations.
It is up to all of us to determine the nominees in the comments.
If nothing else, please read the Rules for Nominating section below before posting comments about your nominees and/or confusion. There are only 4 rules; it's very simple, honest.
This is already the 6th 7th in the Daily kOscars™ diary series.
The 1st was a discussion about the idea.
The 2nd asked about what categories people would like to see.
The 3rd determined the categories.
The 4th began the Nominations process.
The 5th was a surprise rogue diary by cfk in support of these efforts.
(Visiting ^^that diary^^ should help if you're short on ideas.)\
The 6th kept the nominations going, listing those who already made the cut.
Big News!:
Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse, bless her heart, has volunteered to handle the realm of comments. PDNC subsequently also graciously volunteered to add the Dairy Series categories to the comments diaries. There will be at least 2 or 3 sub-categories with both the series & comments. Her 1st "Daily kOscars™ Nominations for Series/Comments" diary should appear early this week.
Therefore...
Please do not comment in this diary about series nominations!
Here's the list of Ten Categories for your 2009 Daily kOSCARs™
Also listed are each of the nominees who have thus far qualified.

The search function is your friend.
sid="2009" and From : 2 Years
will be key to all searches.

How this works:
For the next couple weeks, I'll post similar diaries (and maybe other people will too? Hint, hint) soliciting submissions. In the comments, you leave your ideas for nominations for various categories.
The comments should look like this:

Simple enough?
Please, please, use only that format for your nomination(s).
One nomination per comment.
Rules for Nominating
• Don't nominate yourself. It was already done 1st by Trix. It was funny the 1st time. If you mean it for real, well, that's kinda sad, don'tcha think? Find a friend or at least a sockpuppet to nominate yourself if you must.
• Focus squarely on 2009 only. No exceptions.
• Make the category the title of your comment and limit yourself to just one nominee per comment. The "voting" (comment recommends) will be easier if we all stick to that formula.
• Have fun. This is not life or death stuff. Never forget Rule #62: Don't take yourself too damn seriously!
If you don't know where to begin, I suggest starting here.
I hope it's clear. There was plenty of confusion last time.
- Make a nomination in the comments
- People recommend nominations in the comments
- People vote on nominees in the poll(s)
Item 3 above happens no sooner than a week from now, more likely 2 weeks until the 1st voting diary, which will be called "VOTE: Daily kOscars™ (category name)."
In the comments, I will include short lists (sorted by category) of those nominees that were made and seconded thirded "fourthed" (3+ / 0-) in the previous diary. Re-nominating those diaries listed isn't necessary; they have already qualified for the vote in the category listed.
If a nomination was made, but people don't recommend the comment, it does not make the poll for the final vote.
Keep those nominations coming!
