These nominations were voted on by about 1,500 registered Gold Derby users, each of whom ranked their top three favorites in each category. Their top choice received three points, their second choice received two points and their third choice received one point, with the highest point-getters becoming the nominees. When picking the winners, however, there’s no preferential voting. Instead, you simply pick your one favorite in each category, and whoever gets the most votes wins.
