Sad to say, i don't have any gripes with the actual winners. And as for Caf's picks, even the ones he was wrong on were all in contention. Crap. Ok, seeing we have time, lets take a look at the RoY winners!

It's still early in the day, and the asshole side of my brain isn't functional yet, so i really don't know what to say. Caf, your picks were, although just, mediocre at best. Now as far as any of you know, I creepily predicted each and every winner of every award. Thank you for your patronage.

(p.s. I used creepily here, which is the adverb form of creep, to describe the verb, past tense, predicted. Look it up. Oh wait. I did)
