smileyface X1000 for Ro

 

[mark]

Interesting list. Great to see MDR and steveamanakick get the well deserved nods.

You'd have to think Ro is in with a serious shout.

 

[Anthony]

Hope this opens a million doors for Ro. Absolutely will not win though.

 

[lemonbravo]

Would love to see MDR get it, but agree it's a long shot, given the judges previous form.
I thought Spook and Katie Kim would have been on it for sure though.

 

[Anthony]

How many of those did you master?

 

[worthit]

If Adrian Crowley won it, then I don't see why Ro can't.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

If Adrian Crowley won it, then I don't see why Ro can't.

Sexy low voices win prizes.

Congrats Ro!

I think he's in with an (outside) shot. Three on the list have won it before and so are, I would think, unlikely to be given the nod again. Shortens the odds a bit.

Jape won it twice right? Seeing as the judging panel changes quite a bit year on year I'd say past winners will hardly come into their thinking. It would be amazing if Windings or Ro got the nod but it's unlikely.

pete, do a double poll. who we want to win vs who we *think* will win

Oh yeah .... I forgot that.

 

[lemonbravo]

Just the one this year, MDR's.

 

[Deleted member 3435]

Fingers crossed.

in answer to this!

Yeah, was sure they'd be in there.

Exactly. Better tunes too.

Jim Carroll bigging up the Spuke again. Always feel weird when I agree with him:

The natural order of things has truly been upturned. Thumped expresses general approval of the shortlist. JC is fuming.
