User blog:NerdWithAKeyboard/The Nerdy Awards

Welcome, one and all, to the first annual Nerdy Awards!

Throughout the year of 2018, we've seen amazing accomplishments in the ever-expanding field of moviemaking. And while the Oscars struggle with juggling their controversy, political bias, and overall bad choices, the Nerdy Awards are taking a look back at the wonderful films that made 2018 truly a year of the film.

But before we announce winners and give out awards, here are the quick run-downs of how the Nerdy Awards work:
 * The option with the most votes is the winner of the Nerdy Award
