Voting for the 2009 TotalFilm.com Blog Awards have now closed, marking the end of our first annual awards ceremony. And whilst it didn’t have the cultural resonance as the Oscars, our private after-party put the academy to shame.
We’d like to thank all the blogs who got behind the awards, and the readers who supported them.
Kudos should especially go to Watchmen Comic Movie . Its readers were so incensed at its neglection that they mounted a campaign to get it a Reader Nomination Award. If only the Oscars were this democratic.
