...I've indeed been here for years. And so has GPRO Oscars. And even more so has Kyle Morris. So many years that he has achieved immortal status on hosting the Unofficial Community Awards – after last season 83 edition he has now tied Yours Truly for the amount of hosted seasons. This one shall be the record 24th time either of us has done the Oscars before Kyle will go and surpass. Yes, you read correctly, there will be a lot of uncoordination involved in the next two weeks with both of us rockin our peers, puttin suckers in fear and trying to co-host this milestone thing...
Here are the deadlines!
November 19th - November 26th (23:59.59 CET) is the nomination stage November 27th - December 3rd (16:00.00 CET) is the final voting stage (The first race day of the S85)
The nomination stage might be extended by a further 12 hours if the season reset occurs during November 26th
And the show to reveal and crown all winners should be held on Friday November 3rd, right before the first race of the next season. If the stars align rightly in the wonderful lifes of the hosts.
ABOUT NOMINATIONS:
- Any manager in GPRO can participate and nominate.
- You may nominate any manager, topic, post, or team for any (suitable) award, except where stated in the rules below.
- You may nominate 1 for each category, whether it be person/topic/team/miscellaneous
- About the top 3-7 nominees with most nominations in each category will go through and progress to the voting stage. We reserve the right to change that number in some categories though if necessary.
- You can nominate by posting in this thread with the following: ##nominate (category no.) (manager/topic/team name/etc)
You can denominate too. Example: If you wanted to nominate Teemu Toikka and his long drink for category 16 but later changed your mind and realised that Jack Wemyss will be serving you, you would type:
##nominate 16 Teemu Toikka
In a later post:
##denominate 16 Teemu Toikka ##nominate 16 Jack Wemyss etc. etc.
OTHER RULES:
- You may NOT nominate yourself, your team, your teammates, your wife or husband, a post or a topic of yours, or even a topic you have the topic mod rights, in any of the categories. You cannot either nominate any family teams or their members that your own team may relate to.
- You can choose to nominate in any of the categories, but you don't need to nominate in all if you don't want to.
- Public Discussion of nomination is allowed, and indeed, is actively encouraged.
- Silly game topics are nominated in their own category, so you might prefer to nominate them in category 4 rather than in categories 2 & 3.
- You might want to include links to most categories below to show who/what you're talking about. It should help in the discussion etc but it's not strictly mandatory, do it if you like. Though, it would be appreciated! ;)

I want a 'host-off'!! Drop the gloves and come out hosting! Do we deserve less?
Oh it will be nothing short of a bloody octagon bash. But for that we need nominations... like below!
##nominate 19 Spa-Francorchamps

Welcome back to hosting duties Mikko, I remember your enthusiasm during the awards...it was great to see all the mid-ceremony stats 😀
Huge pressure accumulating already 8-)
Quote ( Sonny Long @ November 19th 2021,21:05:23 )
He's @Mikko Suhonen (A18), Kyle.
Edit: I'm going to regret this.
I also go by the name of Ghost of Christmas of about nearly ~6 years past. But the visions that I have still left to show may be irrelevant if not outdated these days...

Miscellaneous:
16. Manager you'd most like to share a drink with:
Haha oops @Jukka Sireni (Ret) - I meant current GPRO Crew member; you're in the Retired list still. Come out of retirement and you can have my nomination ;)
Ah, true, I never looked at that page, but according to the forum post info box I am. Though I wonder why some of the retired crew members have the GPRO Crew under the stars and some don't.
15. GPRO Community Hall of Fame - The manager who has had the biggest impact on the game as a whole this season, both the game and forum (managers can only win this award once): my pick is already nominated, but I feel nobody is more deserving than: /gb/ManagerProfile.asp?IDM=71620 David Rolleston
Miscellaneous:
16. Manager you'd most like to share a drink with: I'll turn this around, the manager I'm most likely to ever share a drink with is: /gb/ManagerProfile.asp?IDM=342 Miel Soeterbroek - for the simple reason he doesn't live that far away and he likes a drink or two.
20. Best Driving Song to listen to during a GPRO race: Cake - The Distance
"The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom he still burns"
We're talking likelihood here, and I'm a lazy person, so convenience is a high factor in the likelihood calculations :)
For some serious perspective though, I don't even want to be sharing drinks with my colleagues atm, and you live about 3-4x further than my workplace is.
