Whether they will win the actual awards remains to be seen, but it’s always fun to find the ones that speak to us the most.

After 20 long years, I think it’s time I finally come out of the closet. You see, mom and dad (and Worn & Wound readers), I am, in fact, a nerd. I know! I know! I’ve tried to hide it over the years.
