AGREE!! will start with the Winter Season... but you're right.. that's how they do it in Japan.. At least it levels the playing field given that there are almost around 25 doramas per season.. thanks for the suggestion Aka!

Don't forget the suggestion from ilovedrama, you really have to put criteria to judge a drama and actor too.

To be honest, this kind of voting is not easy to make and not all people watch all dramas too so the vote would end up unfair at the end. For example some ppl only watch drama because they have JE boys in it thus the result would be dominated by JE boys.

Maybe you should form a team of Jury who really watch dramas for objective reason and make a fix 5 nominees for the members to cast their vote.

Glad to know there are few other people like this out there. Points to consider too when voting are: 2. Also consider the roles the actor/actress played. Was it challenging? Did it call out all possible range of emotions so that you can see the quality of the acting i.e. a guy who managed to cry a river is definately in a more demanding role then say a guy who keep humingyay whatever.

I totally agree. We should consider if the roles were challenging at all. To me, acting out as a disabled girl is much harder than acting as a happy girl.
But voting is still voting, and it's unavoidable that sm ppl will be biased. well I never knew what JE was until I finished NwP and was stunned by YamaPi's performance. So I guess it's still right to vote for him cuz he left a big impression in me after the drama ended

Bummer I cant vote as I have only just joined....however all my favorites are nominated so thats cool!!!

Happy Voting people!!

Ugh, per season???

It's bad enough to deal with this crap at the end of the year...

I'm just giving a suggestion not mandatorily has to be conducted.

So, if it's that crappy are we going to continue this ritual every year then?

oooh so you think this is crappy? might as well not do this then that'll save us some time and frustrations.

i think its probably easier to just post the jdrama awards officially from a site than coming from us that way, we dont need to throw slippers at each other

i'm having a hard time choosing btwn YamaP and Ryo...who should get Best Supporting Actor and Best Performance.

could someone define those two catagories in more detail...

EX: supporting actor must have a varying range of acting skills//best performance: uniquely depicted in the dorama...???

or are those two catagories basically the same?

Everything's up in the air. Aka's and ilovedrama's suggestions promotes fairness and structure. Bmwracer's stem from the quality of the entries. MixxDreamer's views are from both the two.

Given the factors, let us just let this one pass and see if anyone is going to be up to doing this again next year (or season)

We (sawadasmile and I) have exerted efforts here (tallying votes manually and screencapping, watching series over again) and will continue to do so. And since this is the first time, a lot of unforseen things have come to our attention and we'll try our best to fix them to make it better the next time around (if there is a next time -- see previous paragraph)

This project was started in the spirit of fun and I do apologize if the results aren't what the people expected.

For the meantime, just keep those votes coming in and we'll be tallying them.

as of December 29, 2005 --> 35 pms received

Originally, the concept behind the best JE performance was to separate the best actor - best supporting actor nominees from the best JE performance to give the other actors a chance in the other two categories because I did forsee a slew of JE people hogging both categories. I created the best JE performance to avoid that, but to no avail. I guess I should have explained it better back then. My bad.

Given that, we're looking for the best actor among the JE actors who perfomed this year for the Best JE performance.

I hope I answered your question.

Closing date 7 January. That'll be good cos that gives me some time to watch ichi and work my number of posts up to above 30.

littlemisfab and sawadasmile, we do appreciate your efforts alot despite the problems! I personally feel more excited about these awards than the official awards, and would be real glad if there would be another one next year!

thanks for your pm em my reply still in the outbox tho'

It was never my idea to have this awards thing in the first place...

IMHO, this is just another outlet for fangirls/fanboys to flood the forum with posts....

.. I'll leave it here for the meantime. I have to go to the airport.

I don't like how they're calling this award "crappy" when you guys put a lot of effort into it.

it's their first time doing this.

littlemissfab and sawadasmile, you guys started this thing because you wanted to do something fun and intestesting..if you plan to do it next year..do it your own way..take the suggestions that you like.

also, it's hard to watch all the dramas that comes out..because of time, no subtitles, and not having the raws itself..so it won't be that fair anyways.

You're right. It was a poor choice of words on my part, and it was a good idea.

Gomen.

As with anything though, good ideas can get out of control without guidelines, supervision, etc....

True. I'd suspect the votes to be biased in one way or another due to the large number of dramas that were released.

PPL!! this is just for fun!! but thru what sm ppl hav been saying on this page, it really discourages a lot of ppl from voting.
Of course the awards can't be perfectly fair. Nothing is fair in this world. Who is to judge which actor has the best performance? I personally dont like the idea of 5 "professional" judges coming 2gt and giving out awards for whomever they choose. That's why voting this way is more interesting. whoever has the most votes, wins. It simply means that more ppl think that actor is better. "Majority rules" u know
Besides, if u really believe that a drama, or an actor, did a great job, then u should vote for it/him. Who cares if he will obviously win or lose? It's not just a matter of losing or winning. It is the matter of ur opinion and ur support for that drama/actor. So in the last page sm1 said s/he wouldnt vote simply becuz that candidate has no chance anyway. Please dont think like that. Ur vote COUNTS!
Again let's make this event fun and meaningful to everyone. So please stop criticizing it (if u keep on criticizing it no one will dare have new ideas next time.) I think lilmissfab and sawadasmile are doing a good job, and we should thank them for having such a great idea. Suggestions are fine but it should be up to them whether they want to adapt it or not. (I personally dislike the idea of having an award every season )
ok EVERY1! VOTE!

I like this idea. Looking forward to the results

Just wanna tell u guys that i like this award thingy and really looking forward to the resuls, im having a great time deciding which is the best of 2005 =D, thou i agree that the votes are kinda biased =x too many JE guys and most of the nominees are from the same drama........but then those are really the best in this year imo, this year started off with bunch of 'not so good' dramas and end up with alot of great ones, so far i like all the fall dramas i've watched......

Just hope that all the voters out there please watch all or maybe most of the dramas first before voting.........not many anyway, maybe around 12?
now i have to pick up tiger & dragon again, stopped at the first episode but i've watched th SP thou, yoshitsune might be a little bit difficult, i think i wont watch gokusen 2....skimmed thru the first episode and i cant even stand it for 5 mins............
