The 2024 Burnt Tendies

Welcome back! This is the 5th year of awards in some form or fashion. I think I will be doing a “reheat” of previous years, and start working backwards to have awards going back decades over time. The rules are still the same. 5 nominations per category. Some awards have been cut, mainly to weed out awards I just didn’t care about including and just wanting to be more positive overall. Let’s get to it. Here are the nominations, and don’t forget to come back to this page March 10th for the winners!
