Who would you nominate for the "best of reddit 2009"?

Welcome back to work, everyone. Now that last year is officially behind us, it's time to honor the best of 2009. That's right, we're kicking off the second annual "best of reddit" awards.

To nominate someone or something, click the name of the category and post a top-level comment:

• Comment of the Year
• Commenter of the Year
• Submission of the Year
• Submitter of the Year
• Novelty Account of the Year
• Moderator of the Year
• Community of the Year

Got it? Nominations go on the official threads linked above. Don't accidentally submit them to this blog post's comments page, but feel free to use that space to come up with a better name than "best of reddit awards", to make suggestions for categories we didn't think of, and to complain that awards and trophies are stupid and dumb.

We'll be accepting nominees until 11:59pm RST* on the 11th, and will announce the finalists sometime on the 12th -- probably in the late afternoon, since we expect to spend the first half of the day filtering out all the cheating. Then there'll be a runoff... but we're getting ahead of ourselves. Go nominate! Be sure to check your saved page, /r/bestof, tldr, and this list of noteworthy reddit events for ideas.

*reddit standard time, which is like PDT except we never turned our clocks back.
