Nominations are now closed and the official judges have used some as-yet undefined criteria to cull through the nominated blogs and choose five for each category. The process is actually a bit akin to the academy awards, where the most popular blogs sometimes - but not always - make the final cut, and others that are less well known end up on the ballot. That being said, the process is what it is and all of the blogs that are up for the awards really do deserve to be there, as do all of the nominated blogs, though they haven't all been officially recognized.
So if you want to see if your own favorite blog made the cut, or just check out some new ones, head on over to WellFed and peruse all of the categories vote for your top choice in each. I'm not going to attempt to influence you opinion in any category but one because Slashfood is nominated for the best group blog category. Now, there's no pressure to vote for us, but if you have nothing better to do for the next 5 seconds or so, feel free to cast a vote.
