Notes:
# Ties in first round voting can mean there's more than 5 finalists per category, and therefore more than 50 nominations for a given year.
# In 1996, there were only 8 categories. The award categories Best Individual PC and Best Use of Medium had not yet been created. Also, there was a three-way tie for Best Individual NPC, which is why the table has "'''10''' of 8c.", meaning ten awards for eight categories.
