1. Distress at the appearance of plot points from the movies in what is otherwise a lark about the book. Book-Merry and Pippin didn’t trick the Ents into anything.

Reg gave us a printout and we checked off voters by pencil. There was no nomination software; we used 3x5 cards. Preparing the software for the final ballot was just a matter of typing in the finalists’ names.
