Simple click on the link for the nomination page, where this years major nominees are listed and you can nominate in the relevant forum for the Peta's. This year the voting is slightly different. So pay attention!!!! There will be two stages to voting.

January you will be given the chance to nominate your three favourite contenders for each of the categories. From this I will draw a list of the top five for each category on the 31 January or as close thereafter that I have internet access.

February the Nominations will be posted and you get a final Single vote in each category so that we can announce the winners in the Post following the Oscars announced on 29 February, therefore the 4 March is Peta day.

Any questions, shout.
