Irish Blog Awards 2008

With the Writer's Guild Association threatening to prematurely bring the curtain down on the Oscars this year, it's reassuring to know that at least the Irish Blog Awards, that much-heralded bastion of glitz, glamour and razzamatazz, are still going ahead.

Never one to turn down the opportunity for a shameless act of self-promotion, and always in need of a good paperweight, PCMR would like to draw your attention to the fact that nominations are now open. Should you feel the desire to vote, perhaps I could direct you to recommend your humble reviewer for the 'best popculture blog' section? Don't feel under any pressure though... (Ah, reverse psychology... it can't fail! - Ed)

PCMR Shortlisted for Irish Blog Awards

Well, the shortlists are in for the Irish Blog Awards... and PCMR finds itself up for two categories: 'Best Sports and Recreation' and 'Best Arts and Culture'. Many thanks again to everyone who nominated in the initial round!

As these awards are a democratic process, based a public vote, and given that PCMR has never been one to cow from a shameless act of self-promotion, I would point you in the direction of the links below. Who knows, maybe PCMR can do a 'Ronnie O'Brien'!? (Ah now, don't be knockin the greatest Irish sportsman of all time - Ed)

Here's a complete list of nominees.

And here's where you vote.

Oh yeah, one little thing, please don't vote more than once. If you do, the techies at the irish blog site will come to your house and talk to you about star trek until you weep, and then withdraw your votes, so spamming is a no-no. (If you were thinking of this, I appreciate the thought, but shame on you!)
