Top Five Finalists In Each Of The 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards Categories Revealed!

   ·   Tuesday, November 30, 2010   ·  
2010 Canadian Weblog AwardsThe 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards' 49 jurors handed in all of their scores for the 457 nominated weblogs by November 21st, and since then I have spent my time tabulating the outcomes and compiling lists and wiggling with anticipation.

It's true. I wiggle with anticipation. I'm six.

I added up the last of the numbers and compiled the last of the lists last night, and it is like Christmas exploded in my brain. I know that the timeline laid out for the 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards dictates that the top five finalists in each category be announced on December 1st, but I am just too excited to wait that whole extra several hours. I just can't hold it inside any longer, so I am going to commit sacrilege and tell you who the finalists are right now.

If you want to share the news, hit that retweet button up there under the title or that share link at the bottom of this post and spread the news of Canadian blogging excellence!

The top five finalists in each of the 37 categories in the 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards are as follows, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in each category will be determined by jury over the month of December and will be announced on January 1, 2011. Stay tuned!

UPDATE: The People's Choice category will be up for public vote again in the final round, and the poll will be available for voting between December 21 and 28.

Well done!
Anonymous DaniGirl on November 30, 2010  

I'm six too, cuz I just squeeed with delight at having made the top five for humour blogs. Really? You think I'm funny? *swoons*

This is an amazing list of Canadian bloggy goodness. Outstanding work!
Blogger tornwordo on November 30, 2010  

Wow, thanks!
Anonymous ee on November 30, 2010  

"Squeeeee" from another 6-year old. Thank you so much. I was honoured (& totally surprised) to be nominated and now I'm honoured (& delighted & excited)to be a finalist.

Congratulations to all the other finalists in all the categories. I suspect most if not all would agree Schmutzie should be nominated for an award or a few, too. We'll have to work on something.

(I'm keeping myself somewhat anonymous so I don't bias the impartial jury in any way ;-).)
Anonymous coffee with julie on November 30, 2010  

Wow!! This is so exciting!!! Extremely honoured to be a part of this list of nominees.

Anonymous Laura on November 30, 2010  

This is so exciting. I've been running around doing jumpy hand claps! Thank you for all your hard work.

Yahooooo! :-)
Anonymous JSAbrams on November 30, 2010  

Will you be leaving all 5 finalist blogs up when the top 3 are announced (Jan1)? Just proud to be a finalist!
Anonymous JSAbrams on November 30, 2010  

...That is, top 5 finalists in each category. Wondering how the final announcement of 1st, 2nd, 3rd place will be set up because just honoured to be in the top 5!
Blogger Schmutzie on November 30, 2010  

JSAbrams, I will leave the top five finalists up. I have them in bold at the top of each category here: http://surplus.canadianweblogawards.com/2009/12/2010-canadian-weblog-awards-nominees.html
Anonymous Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi on December 01, 2010  

How totally cool. I'm honoured. Congrats to all the other nominees!
Blogger Mario on December 01, 2010  

Wow - definitely an honour to be among the finalists. Good luck everyone. And I look forward to lots of reading as I check out ALL the finalists.
Blogger Nadine Lumley on December 01, 2010  

Thank you for doing this. I have saved this page so I can take a look at hopefully many of these top five. Now I am very curious.
Anonymous gabrielle on December 01, 2010  

YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!! so happy!

We are so thrilled to be a finalist! Good luck to all the other finalists and well done to all of you!!
Blogger SamiJoe on December 01, 2010  

Excited to be in such fine company --good luck all!
Anonymous SEM on December 01, 2010  

Wow, my productivity is so low since the top 5 in each category have been posted but, who cares BLOG HOPPING! Some great contenders! Good luck to all!
Anonymous Scott H. Payne on December 01, 2010  

Thanks for your work on this, Schmutzie et al.
Blogger Autism Reality NB on December 01, 2010  

Thanks for the final 5 placement in Health & Wellness and Ecology & Social Justice. I appreciate it. Good to see so many other deserving bloggers recognized too. Congrats to everyone! I blogged this honor too - of course :-)
Blogger Dave Hingsburger on December 01, 2010  

I too nearly pee'd myself with excitement, but at my age, excitement will do that! Thanks I'm looking forward to the new year for a whole new reason! Thanks for the acknowledgment and good luck to all.
Blogger ceecee on December 01, 2010  

I can't believe my Within the Kitchen is in the top 5!! You made my day, my month, maybe my whole year!!! Thank you.
Anonymous Anonymous on December 01, 2010  

Crazy - XUP is listed first under the Best Written category but the last post on the blog is September 4th. Pretty poor.
Blogger Schmutzie on December 01, 2010  

Anonymous, poor on our part, or poor on XUP's part?

This is a weblog that was active until 2 months before judging began, and was active throughout most of 2010. It stands in the competition.

What's poor is registering a complaint while hiding behind "Anonymous" rather trying to be effectively constructive.
Blogger spydergrrl on December 01, 2010  

Thanks so much. Lovely, lovely company to be in :)
Blogger Belinda on December 01, 2010  

I am completely honoured, both to be nominated in the first place, and now to find Whatever He Says in the top 5. Thank you to those who take the time to do this; you deserve a prize!

It is an encouragement to those of us who write for the joy of it and to do our very best!
Blogger Balbulican on December 01, 2010  

Holy cow. Thanks, guys!
Blogger Richard on December 06, 2010  

Is there going to be an awards dinner..cocktail party..backgammon tournament..?
Blogger Schmutzie on December 06, 2010  

Richard, I would love to be able to, but an in person event won't be happening this year. I was thinking that I would at least love video/photographic evidence of parties had over New Year's when the winners are announced. I'd love to see how people celebrated!
Anonymous Annie - 2capricieux on December 06, 2010  

Thank you for the nomination, what an honor!
Anonymous Christine Cheng on December 07, 2010  

I'm so delighted to be nominated! What an honour!

But most of all, thank you for putting so much energy into this project. It is indeed, as DaniGirl said, "an amazing list of Canadian bloggy goodness"!
Anonymous Marzena on December 15, 2010  

I'm speechless!! A finalist in two categories???!! I'm so, so, flattered.
Grazie, grazie!!
