hi Paolo! an update on the short film category.. though i forgot to actually note the names of the 3rd and 2nd place winners.. there was no 1st place for the category, apparently no entry met the minimum score for the 1st place…

re: comics category–if manix’s entry got disqualified, then shouldn’t ms. go get 1st place and mr. khan 2nd? and the erstwhile fourth-placer gets bumped to third?
Not sure if they explained it at the event, but apparently not. Most contests though have a clause that allow the judges to decide something to the effect that even the best entry didn’t merit the first prize.
in a sense also, it wasn’t that the judges didn’t have a first-place entry selected, it was that the first-place entry was disqualified. in this case, manix’s entry was highly-regarded as the top winner, beating all the others hands down. but since he was disqualified, the rest weren’t up to par of replacing him.
[...] I wasn’t able to attend the Gaiman event (work and all), but hey congrats to the winners! Rocket Kapre’s got a partial winner list here. [...]
