Golden GandalfAll fans, attending the “Return of the One Party” or not, can now vote to help award TheOneRing.net’s highest honor, “The Golden Gandalfs.”

This year the award and categories concentrate on the actors, who were not rewarded by Oscar. There are 14 fun-loving categories and the “Spirit of Gandalf” award, given to the actor who has interacted best with fans. Voting will be open now until Sunday afternoon, before the official start of the “Return of the One Party.” [VOTE NOW!]

Now for the legal language: Winners will be announced at TheOneRing.net sometime following the big party, after the staff recovers and can get them posted. Voters who submit more than one ballot will have all votes thrown out. Open to legal residents of the world with a sense of humor or at least fun. Anybody taking the awards too seriously will be reported to the fun police.
