What do you mean by more specific?

For which game the players were nominated. Oh... Well yeah, assuming people were specific in that regard. I sure was.

Some people specified single games, others voted based on performance across multiple games, but those awards are for overall 2015 performance, so if one person was thinking of one game, and another person was thinking of another game, they all counted together towards one person. You can probably be assured that most nominees have been nominated based on more than just one performance, overall.

This is different from 'awards for a specific game' - eg role use, where the same person nominated for different roles didn't have their votes counted together.

Hey, I only voted for myself a couple of times.

Nope, it wasn't you.

Are we getting an Awards video, Maffies-style? Will it get more viewers than the Oscars?

Unfortunately, I am nowhere near as talented as Straywing, and I'm not sure marmot is either. However, if you are lucky, G-Man may post reactions to the awards solely in memes.

Hi everyone

Voting for the Sockys has now closed, and it is time to announce your finalists. In order to qualify as a finalist, nominees must:

• Be in the top five vote getters in their category (anyone tied for fifth will be included), and
  Have at least two separate nominations.

Finalists will be announced today, and winners will be announced on the weekend. While voting in most categories is final, Best quote includes all nominees and is now subject to an additional vote.
