Submit Nominations Here
Hey everybody! A couple days ago, @NineSwords@ani.social reached out to me with an idea. Why don’t we try to set up some year-end awards for the communities we moderate? Well, a bit of back and forth, and today, I am glad to announce that we have opened nominations for the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards. The nomination round will remain open until I post next week’s general discussion thread (usually late Sunday/early Monday US time). Note that there are partner awards for the manga and light novel communities as well.
Like normal, feel free to also use this thread just like you would a normal discussion thread.
As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).
When we nominate something for the Best Soundtrack category, do we nominate the soundtrack itself (e.g. Zoltraak from Frieren) or the anime (e.g. Frieren)?
If it is the former and we want to nominate an insert song, does the song belong under the Best Soundtrack category or Best OP/ED?
OP/ED is very specific, so I would say it belongs in OST. Generally, for an OST category like this, it would take the entire soundtrack of the show/movie into consideration (an insert song being part of that whole). For next year, I can add a category for something like Best Original/Insert Song that would capture this kind of thing. Apologies that I hadn’t considered it!
If you want to call out an insert song specifically in your nomination, feel free to do so. If I see a lot of people nominating a specific insert song, then I can think about how to handle it as a special case.
