Voting Begins For 2008 SyFy Genre Awards

For probably the first time in its nine-year history, the SyFy Genre Awards have started on time!

The official SyFy Genre Awards ballot went live June 25 at http://www.syfyportal.com/genre-awards/2008/index.php allowing readers like you to vote on your favorite actors, television shows, movies and authors for the annual awards event, considered to be the first true virtual awards ever launched on the Internet.

"Battlestar Galactica" leads all nominations for the third year in a row with 11 nods, including Best Actor/Television for Edward James Olmos, Best Actress/Television for Mary McDonnell, and Best Series/Television, but a number of other television shows and movies from the past year have also been included.

The slate of nominees was chosen by an international committee that had been meeting virtually since last winter, and was chosen from thousands of possible nominees between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008. The SyFy Genre Awards attracts tens of thousands of votes every year, but every one counts (as long as you follow the simple rules of simply voting once per day, and not stuffing the ballot box).

You can find a video of the SyFy Genre Awards nominees on YouTube by clicking here. To read a history about the Genre Awards and learn about past winners, visit our Wikipedia entry by clicking here.

Winners will be announced in time for SyFy Portal's 10th anniversary in August!
