2008 XYZZY Award Winners and Finalists

Dates

  • The deadline for first-round voting is Wednesday, February 18, 2009, at midnight Eastern Standard Time.
  • The deadline for second-round voting is Wednesday, March 11, 2009, at midnight Eastern Standard Time.
  • The online award ceremony was to be held on ifMUD on Saturday, March 14, 2009, at 3 PM Eastern Daylight Time—but alas, Eileen didn't show. She's the one who tallies up who won, and the presenters didn't have that info, so the show really couldn't go on without her. So the ceremony was rescheduled to Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 3 PM EDT. Sorry about that.
