Orange Mane Red Carpet Gala Awards! - The Orange Mane

Old Dude · 06-22-2006, 12:17 PM

Welcome to the Orange Mane Red Carpet Gala Awards Forum, where we will select the outstanding threads and performances of the past year.

Except for the "Hall of Fame" categories, discussed below, the awards will be presented for efforts & achievements that occurred between June 1, 2005, and June 1, 2006.

Awards will be as follows:

Four Individual Poster Awards for overall excellent performance through the year.

Poster of the Year
Rookie of the Year
EGIBGB Honorary Award
Avatar & Sig Award (Consider this our Special Effects award)

10 Performance Awards for outstanding efforts in a particular thread.

Best Performance by a Poster in a Draft Analysis Thread
Best Performance by a Poster in a Game Analysis Thread
Best Performance by a Poster in an Emotional Meltdown Thread
Best Performance by a Poster in a Football Smack Thread
Best Performance by a Poster in a Fantasy Football Thread
Best Performance by a Poster in an Off-Topic Thread
Best Performance by a Rival Fan in Any Thread
Looniest Performance by Anyone in Any Thread
Best Photoshop Effort by a Poster in Any Thread
Crystal Ball Award for Best Prediction of the Year

Lifetime Awards for posters

This is the Orange Mane Hall of Fame. (This year, we will induct four charter members, with an intention of adding two or three persons per year after that.)

Best Threads

Best Preseason Thread
Best Regular Season Thread
Best Postseason Thread
Best Offseason Thread
Best Non-NFL Sports Thread
Best Totally Off-Topic Thread

-------------------------------------

Nominations will open today, and will continue through July 15, 2006.

There are two ways in which you can nominate someone (or some thread) as the case may be.

(1) Below this thread, in this forum, will be individual threads for each of the categories. You can post your nomination in the appropriate category.

(2) Or, if you want to remain anonymous, you can PM me with your nominations.

You can also "second" and "third" and "fourth" nominations, etc. In fact, this would be a good idea to insure that your nominated people reach the "finals."
If some category gets a zillion "tied" nominations, I will trim it down as fairly as possible - - taking into account people nominated multiple times, general variety, and so forth. But this particular part will be a matter of my unfettered discretion.

After the nominations are closed, I will create polls in this forum with the top nominations in each category for people to cast their votes for the winners. (The identities of the persons voting will not be disclosed.)

Subsequently, we will tally the votes and announce the winners!

Edited for proper dates...

Just curious, why are we going all the way back to 2004?

smalltowngrll · 06-22-2006, 07:04 PM

OK, OD...I'm way confused!

90% of the nominations are from 2006 or LATE 2005. That doesn't even fall within your time frame posted. So, my question is...was that a typo? Or is everyone just not paying attention to the guidelines?

Yeah ... don't you mean 6/1/05 to 6/1/06 ?

Old Dude · 06-23-2006, 04:33 AM

Oops, typo. I will fix it.

Old Dude · 06-23-2006, 07:04 AM

Actually, it wasn't a "typo". It was just me not knowing what year it is.

But it's been fixed nonetheless. This is for June 2005 - June 2006.

smalltowngrll · 06-23-2006, 09:35 AM

Thanks, OD! Now I feel like I can contribute!!!

Taco John · 06-23-2006, 04:27 PM

Actors get Oscars musicians get Grammy's What do the winners get on this awards ceremony?

Dagmar · 06-30-2006, 03:08 PM

If I'm invited can I wear my dress?

Old Dude · 07-14-2006, 02:26 PM

Reminder - tomorrow is the last day for nominations. On Sunday, I will post the "official" nominations in polls, and the voting will begin. We will leave the polls up for a couple weeks and then declare the winners in early August.

Old Dude · 07-24-2006, 07:19 PM

Update:

The site went down before I could close the nominations and post the polls, and I then left on a pre-scheduled camping trip. Just got back in town, and I'm still unpacking, but I'll try to get the polls up later this evening.

Old Dude · 07-25-2006, 03:57 AM

Okay, the nominations are locked in, and I will start posting official polls today and tomorrow. Once established, the polls will be open until August 17.

Old Dude · 07-25-2006, 07:51 AM

Okay, I got about half the polls up and running, and I'll get to the others later today.

Old Dude · 08-07-2006, 07:14 AM

Ten days to the awards! Get those votes in if you got 'em!

Old Dude · 08-16-2006, 10:22 AM

Last day for voting!

Old Dude · 08-17-2006, 04:17 AM

Awards to be announced later today!

Well, we're done for 05-06, but it's never too early to start the nominations for 06-07, and anyone should feel free to post them here so we don't forget about them many months from now ...

Jason in LA · 09-20-2006, 12:47 PM

I nominate myself for the Hall of Fame.

Really, I do.

Crushaholic · 06-19-2007, 02:46 PM

Isn't it about time for this again? Where are you, Old Dude?

Old Dude · 06-27-2007, 02:02 PM

In a couple weeks, I think. Too much on my plate right now.

Jason in LA · 07-09-2007, 06:07 PM

I'll be waiting for my HOF nomination.

Crushaholic · 07-17-2007, 12:34 PM

Watermock should be a slam dunk for the OM Hall of Fame this year. People didn't take his nomination seriously last year, for some unknown reason.

Old Dude · 07-19-2007, 03:31 PM

Okay, I'm behind in my schedule, but sometime this weekend, hopefully by tomorrow evening, I'll officially open up nominations in the various categories for this past year.

The nominations will stay open for a couple of weeks, and the "official" voting will take place sometime in early to mid - August. So get your ideas lined up....
