rockNrollaDIM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I was thinking those were final ballots. So is nominations like the US primaries, and then they vote again based on nominees? Or do they pick the winner from initial ballots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Voting for the winners doesn't start until the beginning of February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
