UPDATE: It is official now, here’s a screencap from the Bloggies page:
I really like the fact that they used a thermometer in the design.
===============================================================
This was truly surprising. According to the Bloggies Facebook page, WUWT has been named the first ever winner of the Best Science Blog category (new this year for the Bloggies), beating Wired and Boing Boing, both of whom have way more reach and traffic than we do. I suppose it demonstrates the loyalty of our readers.
I have no idea as to the votes or margins, all that remains hidden, and probably for good measure. No voting wars broke out with this contest like we saw with Climate Audit and Bad Astronomy in 2007, and that’s a good thing.
I’ll make no speeches like Sally Field’s famous 1984 Oscar speech: “You like me, you really like me!” which is actually a misquote, and a popular parody.
I’ll simply say “thank you dear readers”, and leave it at that. I also owe thanks to the many moderators and guest bloggers that make WUWT what it is. You are winners too.
I have a temporary badge up, a permanent one follows when they have it all completed. The main page here http://2011.bloggi.es should have the announcement soon – Anthony

At least you don’t need all those “big oil” bribes now, with all of that prize money. (do I need to say sarc?).
Congratulations!
So does this mean we all get free WUWT subscriptions for the rest of the year? 😉
[Yes, and the moderators get a 50% pay raise! ~dbs]
Ditto, congratulations to everyone here: Anthony, the mods, the guests and the commenters. Keep up the fantastic work.
I’m here most days and learn something every time and am often entertained by a lot of insightful and witty comments as well. I especially appreciated the comments by R Gates on this thread who may not agree with some (much?) of the thrust of this site but was very gracious and was received in the same manner, and I don’t consider someone who has a genuinely held different opinion to be a pain in the … or a fly in the ointment. I think that it stimulates real debate. Something that could be learned by the operators of some other sites.
But then that’s what separates this site from those. Congrats, again.

Anthony, CTM & everyone else involved with WUWT,
A heartfelt congratulations on being recognized for what those of us who come here every day knew all along.
YOU ARE THE BEST!
I hope this honor is especially gratifying in light of all the vitriol thrown your way.
Keep fighting the good fight!

Congratulations Anthony!! Very well deserved!! You and your associates are clearly making a difference in exposing the politics and deception driving the climate fear agenda and more importantly bringing responsible climate science to the forefront. Keep up the outstanding work!!
Congratulations to WUWT. Anthony, contributors, and mods have done an excellent job here.
I read this blog most every day.
Speaking truth to power. Congratulations, Mr Watts, and contributors. Keep it up!
Good work everybody (the comments are half the fun here) … hope my vote helped tip the scales. Keep up the excellent work Anthony.
Congratulations Anthony, you, your crew and the guest posters all do a great job. As others have said, it was never in doubt.
Congratulations, Anthony! Well deserved.
Sincere congratulations to you, Anthony, moderators, guest posters and the commentators and their links.
My only complaint is no time to read everything!
A light to lighten the darkness.
CONGRATULATION ANTHONY and thanks for giving us the facts we need to know.
Not just congratulations, but sincere thanks to Anthony and the crew that do the heavy lifting around here.
I am an avid reader, but not in a position to contribute anything meanful beyond what is already presented.
Congratulations, Anthony, moderators and posters to this great blog!! Yay!!!!
Congrats guys, excellent blog and nicely done!
Anthony–
A well-deserved honor. Keep up the great work.
Hurrah!!
Well done Anthony, and thanks.
Thanks for the hard work and congratulations!!!
Congratulations! Well deserved.
If there were a Nobel for science communication, it would not be “Science”, “Nature”, “Scientific American”, nor even Algore who would win.
Anthony would be in Oslo for sure!
A worthy winner; simply the best.
Congratulations Anthony, excellent. Continue to use your influence to save us here in the UK from our government, the opposition, its coalition partners, the scientific establishment, the CRU, the UEA and………
Forgot the Prince of Wales and his wind farms.
Congrats from Europe!
Fantastic news and worthy of much congratulation. But should we be surprised? I think not: this is a quality blog and the wider world has begun to notice. Keep it up!
