Hi, and welcome back to the first-ever annual UltimateDisney.com Media Awards! Many of you submitted nominations via the message board and email, which were tabulated and resulted in the finalists below.

Thanks! :D

The number of nominees in a given category was determined by the number of nominations submitted for that category, so that each category had 3-6 finalists, with 5 being the preferable number (in the event that either 4 or 6 had to be chosen, 4 were chosen for lesser categories, and 6 were chosen for the major categories). In the event that either 2 or 7+ nominees had to be chosen, only 2 were selected.

Aaron, what happened to the music catagories? Were they not part of our original voting?

I posted about this in the movie awards thread, but it's probably useful to restate it here... due to low response, the music and book categories were scrapped. I apologize to those who took the time to formulate nominees, but there really weren't enough votes -- and the votes that did come were so varied -- to build a consensus for most categories. Hopefully they can return next year.
