Where was this thread moved from? I coulda sworn I posted it in NAT originally... anyway, only 3 entries
 but it makes scoring the contest easy!I really thought that Record of the Year was the last award (hence giving it 3 points), since it usually shows up first or last on the list of winners... anyway, I guess I really should have given 2 points to Record and 3 points to Album.... not that it mattered though: Mr. Penguin was correct in 18 categories for 21 points. CubedBee was correct in 9 categories for 10 points. Jables was correct in 7 categories for 7 points. Congratulations Mr. Penguin! Edit: Ahhh, yet another new forum, now I see!
