Thank you! I'm a read-the-book-first person, but if I like it, I shall check out the movie.

Thank you for your concern. Since the discussion's moved on, I'd like to let it go, but I appreciate your detailed response.

If everyone's happy with that, we can discuss exactly how the nominations would work. I was thinking of doing it like we do in the monthly nominations thread—with a second and third—but with 6 or more votes each instead of three.
Sounds good to me.

Briefly, my objection to the slate notion is that a slate that's geared to a particular kind of taste might well be the winner if it appeals to a large subgroup.

Otherwise, I like democracy. If votes are limited, as I think they ought to be, it should leave room for most to get their top category or two or three. I think doing it at one fell swoop will avoid the problem of some of the weirder category choices that happened the last time.
