It's time to vote for the 2006 Xixax Awards! This is the final vote!
Send your votes in through PM, following all the rules. The deadline is Friday, April 14.
Any questions? Ask them here.
Would it be possible to prolong the deadline til monday 17th? I have yet to see 4 films from the best pic. category and one of them won't be able to see it, but the other three I will but not in time for the deadline.
We kind of want to wrap this up as soon as we can. Unless we get more requests to extend the deadline, it is April 14.
I'm going to vote right now! :yabbse-thumbup:
YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
SEND IT IN!!!

MacGuffin is right... every vote really does count. There's usually a surprising number of tiebreakers.
Yes, I was just saying this morning that it's too bad _____________(Your Favorite Film here)___________ didn't receive a few more votes or it might've changed everything.
As one of the admins who is not counting votes, I'm very curious to see what the outcome will be. As far as I can tell, there have been no really strong indications or obvious leaders in most categories; but I think the worthy nominees in all categories far outweigh the ones I don't consider so worthy.
Well, I'm about four minutes late but I'm gonna send my votes in anyway.
