Ladies and Gentlemen...the First Annual Fjord Awards

First off, for those of you worried about my recent brush with death, I'm fine. No matter how fervent the belief of knife wielding maniacs in the downfall of Fjord, I can assure you, when I'm on the street, it will take at least three wheelchair-bound knife wielding attackers to stop yours truly. But thanks for your concern.

Now, to the point! We all know that the Grammy's were a crock of shit, and we all know the Oscars aren't going to be any better. So, here at Fjord, we've taken it upon ourselves to have our own FJORD AWARDS. Hopefully, these will right the injustices that were brought on all those working long and hard in entertainment across this great country. No longer will deserving works of art be passed up because of greedy corporate bribes. No longer will skanky whores blow into existence the nominations of crappy productions. (at least until we get our own skanky ho's) No, the FJORD AWARDS will embody the splendor and majesty of the landmass they are named after. Those who reach into thin air, and pull forth art that embodies all that Fjords stand for, that is what we are looking for.

So, in order for us to get this off the ground, we're going to need some nominations. The categories are - strictly for the year 2004:

1) Best Blog (duh)
2) Best Comic/Graphic Novel
3) Best Movie
4) Best Band
5) Best Digitally Recorded Medium (CD, DVD etc.)
6) Best Performer

The good folks here at Fjord will add more categories, IF demand for them exists. However, it's a pretty good start for our first try. Click on the comments section, and nominate your favorites! We'll keep the results a secret until March 17th - St. Paddies Day, and throw a huge party for the winners, and maybe we'll invite those of you who vote a lot too.
