The winner of the 2009 LAMMY for Best Blog is...

15 awards. 26 For Your Consideration posters. Countless reminder posts and emails. Two separate polls. One Best Blog winner. And maybe even some more posts to come.

Yes, the LAMMYs are a nearly two-month affair (started on April 20th) that are coming to a close, with this quite possibly the most important post of them all.

Thanks to all that voted in the nomination stage and to all those that voted on those nominees and especially to those that voted in both stages. And I think only one or two people "unsubscribed" from all of the emails I send, so I can't be ALL that annoying. But I will stop talking now and just give you the damn results. Thanks all!

LAMB Leaderboard updated for May!

...and we have a new B.L.O.C. (Big LAMB on Campus). Technically, Final Girl is atop the Leaderboard, but as she has no Random LAMB Banner, Film Forager currently has their banner displayed in the B.L.O.C. spot just below the site header. Should Final Girl send me a banner, she will take the throne.

In other LAMB Banner news, I've added five more to the gallery again - if you were one of the five, your banners now 'hang' proudly there and have been inserted into the Random LAMB Banner box.

Want yours in there? Just send it to me.

The winner of the 2008 LAMMY for Best Use of Widgetology is...

Polls. Pictures. Links. Advertisements. Celine Dion photos. Blog Archives. We all have widgets on our sites, but some get more mileage out of them than others, finding a way to incorporate them so that they enhance the experience rather than just being there. This was the 12th most active category, with 43 total votes spread to 20 sites by 23 voters. The winner took the trophy while receiving a vote from 34.8% of the voters, the 11th highest percentage of all the categories.

The envelope please...

The winner of the 2008 LAMMY for Most Likely to Get Paid is...

The LAMB's version of "Most Likely to Succeed," this award was almost a foregone conclusion, as I'm pretty sure that the winner is indeed already getting paid, so they were the odds-on favorite to win. This was the 4th most active category, with 71 total votes spread to 24 sites by 33 voters. The winner took the trophy while receiving a vote from 33.3% of the voters, the 6th (tie) highest percentage of all the categories.

2nd place (tie): Ferdy on Films (8 votes)

LAMB Newsbreak

Just a couple quick things to share...

Nayana from The Center Seat went and nominated the LAMB for a Blogger's Choice Award. The category is Best Entertainment Blog (and a few other categories. Sounds like a difficult category to win, but every vote counts! I believe registration is required, but I could be wrong...the voting page is here.

Also, it appears as though there's a new sheriff in town, as there was no contest for the top spot in this week's LAMB Leaderboard. LAMB #53, Final Girl, who was inducted here just a few days ago, must have herself some (well deserved) high traffic, as her post (and link) about the LAMB sent 95 visitors here in just about 4 days, easily setting the record in the short history of the Leaderboard. I haven't been saving the chart each week, but I believe the previous high was 63. LAMBs, the gauntlet has been thrown down - let's see someone crack 100! Also, another "record" in that 4 or the top 5 spots have created and sent in their site banners to me - coincidence??? (Yeah, probably.)

Lots more going on this week, as Sirens of the LAMBs heads towards the end of the first round, and many more new LAMBs on tap (I like to space them out so as to give every new one it's fair shake at the top of the page). The only thing hurting? My own movie blog, which is feeling somewhat like the ugly stepsister right about now. Such is life...

LAMB #53 - Final Girl

URL: http://finalgirl.blogspot.com/

Site Name: Final Girl

What is the main focus of your site (reviews, editorials, news, lists, etc.)?
When I first began Final Girl, I focused mainly on slasher movies; over time, though, I've expanded my scope to include all sorts of horror movies. I post horror reviews, lists, interviews, trailers, news items...pretty much anything I can come up with, so long as it's related to scary movies in some way.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I'd like to continue to improve as a writer. I started the blog on a whim, simply because I love horror movies and I wanted to have a place to talk about them. Though I'm loathe to put ads on the site or attempt to turn it into a for-profit venture (I wouldn't know how to go about that, even if I wanted to), I certainly wouldn't object to the blog leading to opportunities elsewhere. Really, I just want to write about horror movies and make people laugh.

Do you prefer an interactive 'community' for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers are the students?
As far as being the "teacher" goes, I don't claim to be an expert on my chosen focus; however, I do love introducing people to movies they haven't seen, or actors they may never had heard of. It's all about spreading the love, man, dig? Which is why I also love the "community" aspect of Final Girl. I love the dialogue, I love getting recommendations...it's like getting together with your friends over a beer and talking about horror movies, except I'm drinking alone and staring at a computer screen. Wait...I'm a loser!

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I've been at it for a couple of years now...I started in June 2005. I try my very very best to update every day Monday through Friday and I usually meet my goal, even if I just post something lame. Wait, I shouldn't tell people I make lame posts...I mean, even if I just post something AWESOME. Occasionally I'll post on the weekends, and every once in a while I reach critical mass and I simply run out of things to say. I've been known to be quiet for a week or so, but that's pretty rare and getting rarer. Is that a word?

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Harold and Maude, The Haunting ('63), Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

How did you hear about the LAMB?
I saw a button on Saranomics and I was all, like, "Wow, what's that?" and then I, like, totally clicked and stuff.

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
You're on a sinking haunted pirate ghost ship. What are your last words? Eff you, stupid sinking haunted pirate ghost ship! I'll see you all in helllllllllllll...
