Personal feelings regarding WotC aside, it's good to see a healthy mix of winners from different companies and genres. Solid competition only means all companies will have to keep up their quality. |

I managed to purchase a colour copy of the core rulebook during its initial print run, before Catalyst Game Labs snapped up the license. Not surprisingly, it's almost considered a "rarity" these days. Already. |

Totally. And I'm terribly biased on that one. ;)

My votes are going to be largely split between various things that Paizo, Catalyst, and WW did. |

Thanks, Bakra. And that's awfully nice company to be mentioned in. I'm a big fan of both Mouse Guard and Kobold Quarterly.

The 'new' Realms is only nominated for Cover Art.
In fact, none of WotC's settings books (including all the Star Wars RPG settings) have been nominated for Best Setting.
Besides the Forgotten Realms setting & Star Wars, what other settings are there that qualify for an Ennie? 
Hurray for Mouse Guard, Kobold Quarterly, & Worlds of D&D!
Technically, Knights of the Old Republic, The Force Unleashed, The Clone Wars, Legacy and The Rebellion Era are all separate Campaign Guides/Settings and all have been released in the past year. |

I agree with sfdragon
In 5th edition it would be like a female bikini wearing shade in a black dragon
Or bikini wearing elves with anime features <^.^>

Never heard of most of those things. Not a lot of WotC. Gee I wonder why. |

Nice to see a lot of love for CTHULHUTECH. 'Tis an amazing setting, with a lot of hard and determined work incorporated into each and every book released so far. Thus, I can definitely agree with its nominations for 'Best Cover Art' and 'Best Interior Art.' Good stuff!
The Dark Heresy Core Rulebook deserves its moment too.
In terms of 'Best Writing,' well that honour would have to go to Kobold Quarterly, Open Design.
'Best Production Values' -- CTHULHUTECH again, from CGL.
'Best Rules' I'm still undecided on. The same for 'Best Adventure' and 'Best Monster or Adversary.'
'Best Setting,' definitely Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting. That is a phenomenal gaming resource.
'Best Supplement,' I'm tied between my love of Vade Mecum and The Clone Wars Sourcebook.
'Best Aid or Accessory' -- Kobold, again.
'Best Regalia' -- Battletech: The Corps, Catalyst Game Labs.
'Best Electronic Book' -- Oooh! Oooh! Definitely Tales of Zobek. Baur at his best, yet again.
I'd go Kobold Quarterly, Order 66, and CTHULHUTECH for the categories of 'Best Website,' 'Best Podcast,' and 'Best Game.'
I'm undecided on 'Product of the Year.'
