Hey everyone, thank you so much for the votes! I honestly forgot about this because I figured there was no chance I would win anything, let alone 2 awards, hahahaha. I really appreciate the votes. 2020 was a tough year for me, as I’m sure it was for all of you. Coming here and posting snarky comments about superhero movies and other stuff helps me escape the real world for a bit, and for that I’ll always be grateful. Hope 2021 is a great year for all of you!

 

[Spider-Fan]

We're starting with the ones chosen by you, the public. The Popular vote.

Our Hypertime Nominees are...

@Boom
@DarthSkywalker
@Kelly
@Schlosser85
@The Joker

Congrats! Both are very well-deserved!

Next, the Committee each year gets to select a few individuals that are not active members of the community anymore, but we once pillars and deserve to be recognized.

This year was one of much debate, but the Committee has selected as their Retired inductees...

Spoiler

That is right, 4 inductees! We had a lot of back and forth, but we also have a massive backlog. So we thought it best to select all 4 of these posters. Congrats to @AndThePickles, @DBella, @PALADIN, and @Wilhelm-Scream. Hopefully one day, they will come back and see how much they meant to us

 

[Spider-Fan]

Lastly, the big one...the final award of the evening...our POSTER OF THE YEAR!

This award is 100% blind vote. And we have a new individual claiming this great prize that you, the public, demanded a few years ago.
