Miscellaneous commentary:

My only additional award is for Best Arts Website which goes enthusiastically to The Onion AVClub. This last year they have pushed out more and more fantastic content from a growing band of immensely talented writers, as well as improving their website into a community of intelligent like-minded folks who love to chatter. It used to be that I would visit the AVClub once a week when The Onion was my real destination but now I almost never go the the main site at all, and I visit the AVClub daily. Great great stuff, commendations all around.
