ORIGINAL POST:
I would like to announce that I have volunteered to host the next WOWAY Awards. I have never been present for a WOWAY Award celebration, so I don't have many memories of how they go. If anyone has any favorite moments from previous WOWAY Awards, or suggested categories, please let me know.

Discuss what you'd like to see from the upcoming WOWAY Awards in this topic.

Awesome, thanks Jace. If anyone has any good ideas for new categories I'd love to hear them. Advice from previous hosts would also be appreciated.

I like how everyone's suggesting categories they think they'd win.

On that note...

Best French-Canadian? No, I have zero chance of winning that one. Let`s say... best translator.

Nah. Too obvious and too easy to win... let`s say... Best international die-hard Al fan who knows over 100 songs.

Most Dedicated Non-Spoiler was a category a few years ago that seems to be missing from that list.
