Okay, read it all. Phew!

-Looking over my ballot, I still can't believe that the little swaddled baby didn't win best Non-Weapon Accessory. What is with you people? I bought that set just for it!

-I see that I completely misunderstood the Most Innovative category, and voted for individual 'mates rather then innovations. Oh well. headslap.gif

-Best use of Jay and Silent Bob EVER. Go Zabu! thumbsup.gif

-Loved the Thief of Thieves gag. Finally a use for that set!

-Can't believe that you just stood there and let them steal Iron Man's armor, Luke! stick.gif

- Pleasantly surprised that Baron Zemo did so well, despite being less fancy then some others. I voted for all three Best Minimate winners, but in reverse order.

-Unpleasantly surprised that the Peter Pan sets didn't win anything. I really liked those sets!

-Thing looks snazzy in his tux.

- NO "are you calling me fat?" Heavy Shield Agent joke. Disappointing.

Great, great work. You should get started on next year's now!

Great work MINI_MYTE! The puns were spot-on and I absolutely LOLed at the Oscar Selfie..I have to steal that picture.

While I am surprised that Onslaught didn't win MM of the Year (or even place in the Top 3) and that Gremlin in a repainted Sentinel won plenty of awards, I had a good time reading and rereading this. Thanks for doing this every year!!! :D

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the award show. Your undying love for minimates is what drives me to do this (and top myself) each year. Speaking of which... It turns out that Sand Saref and Ben Grimm threw an After Party event after the big show. Tune into this thread each day for the next five days to catch a glimpse of what occurred at the party.

Luke's cameo was awesome. Luke should sell that mate in his store. Id buy it!

Also loved the Ellen appearance....

Made me wish for some minimate scale pizza! (Maybe tmnt??)

And a big shocker when silent bob spoke!!!

Ha ha ha - the Trask law-suit was brilliant.

And the use of those red cross fun-raiser minimates as the first aid officers was inspired.

Very well done. Thank you for an awesome show.

Glad you liked the Red Cross EMTs. Keep your eyes peeled as they might be making another appearance very soon. ?

Y'all know how my mind works & I just can't stop smiling over that 1st. party pic. which is hilarious ........I just think that the 'CENSORED' sign needs to be rotated 90 degrees .wink.png

Not neccessarily Rob. Remember what Sand Saref said about "Little Tony" at the red carpet show? LOL
