Ladies and gentlemen, with the year coming to an end, it's time to think about 2009 in entertainment and cast your nominations for the RAFO-TV&M Awards.
You can nominate up to 5 films, TV shows or names in each category. The 5 entries with the most nominations will move on to the actual voting phase in a few weeks
Goes without saying, but you don't have to fill in categories you don't really have an opinion on if you don't want to, and you can pick less than 5 entries, if you can't think of more.

We have people from all over the world here, and possibly different release dates for films and shows, so I won't be too strict if a film had an US release in 2008, but came out later for you. You shouldn't vote for much older films you saw for the first time this year, though. So this is about January to December 2009.

As far as TV shows are concerned, I am aware we are pretty much in the middle of seasons right now. Just pick the ones you had the most fun with this year, no matter what (part of the) season you saw.

About the "Hell Yeah!" moment: it can be anything you reacted to very positively, an action sequence, joke, revelation, quote, whatever. Just try to be as spoiler-free as possible, if it's a crucial part.
As you see, I only added one negative category. I just find it more fun to celebrate what was outstanding than to bash what was bad. There is already way too much of that on the internet. So I stuck to the somewhat basic categories for now. We'll see how that goes and maybe add more next year.

You can either vote here by replying or NB me with your picks, if you prefer.

Now get busy thinking about 2009's favorites and let's see who makes it into the awards show!

Nomination phase ends on the 14th of January 2010.
There will be a little raffle with everyone who nominated and or voted later on with a small price for one of you.
