    Much like the Academy, I made my selections without seeing all of the movies.

    I would start an acceptance speech, but I would probably just get my mic cut off. So instead, I will just say: Thanks for the votes! :) It was a really close one!

    The good news is, I already have an idea for the next contest. I will hopefully be able to find some time to set it up on the weekend!
     
  9. is this going to be a weekwnd with no sci-fi-ava contest?..... thats my reason to make it through the week so im really scared right now...
