aka “The Bloggies” …are happening live now on Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/Bloggies
First winner is Jo Nova! Congratulations to her!
It was a tough call in Australia, because we also like Simon at Australian Climate Madness too. Maybe next year.
Tallbloke stands tall!
McIntyre – Oh Canada!
Ice cube survives in hell, film at 11…
Look at the competition – these are no small potatoes:
95 minutes from now:( 5:50 PM ) we’ll know if WUWT wins Lifetime achievement. Given the major players WUWT was up against in Sci/Tech I’m happy now just the way it is.
UPDATE: 7:30PM
Speechless, I am:

Skeptic blogs win every category they were nominated in, a clean sweep.
My sincere thanks to everyone, and especially the moderation team, who works tirelessly to keep a good experience going here. – Anthony
Come the hour, come the blogs!
Terrific news. Top honours evenly distributed (nearly) to:
Australia, Britain, Canada and the USA**2
Since the sinisterly imaginative partition of the Anglosphere invented the AGW ruse from scratch (by spontaneous creation and inflation of random fluctuations in an obscure region of the intellectual vacuum) it’s fitting that the sceptically sane partition of the Anglosphere should be responsible for its total destruction. Please keep up the good work!
Now here’s a thought:
Just as the Nobel prize has the Ignoble prize at the opposite end of the spectrum, I wonder if there should be a counterpart to the prestigious Weblog awards? And what would the judging criteria be? Surely there’d be candidates aplenty …
One shouldn’t forget the achievements of Autostraddle!!
Congratulations to all!
Now will the Cheek-O news report this? Has anyone notified them?
We should all send a message to our local and favorite news media and writers to ensure they are aware of this. Might help draw in more readers if they are not all scared off by the lead article.
Congratulations… Again !!
Must tell the Guardian’ Suzanne Goldenberg the good news..
She described Watts Up With That as an anti-science blog last week 🙁
Guardian: “However, Anthony Watts, a weathercaster who runs one of the most prominent anti-science blogs, Watts Up With That?,”

Let me just say thanks, Anthony. I’ve been here from the beginning, and your site has been an invaluable resource for me. Here’s to another lifetime of achievement :^)

Congrats to all !!!
Congratulations to the winners. Next year maybe I’ll throw my hat in the ring and see if perhaps I can give Tallbloke a run :).
Wow!, ain’t that something?
No wonder I had developed a habit of visiting all the winning websites everyday.They were truly good places to visit as a long time climate skeptic.
Keep up the good fight!
Not to be repetitive, but:
Congratulations to Anthony and all who help to keep this weblog running. This award recognizes the level of integrity that resides here and is demonstrated everyday by Anthony & Co..
There is one problem with that idea, if someone has a weblog but no one visits, how would anyone know to vote them a Weblame award.. But may I make the first nomination… DeSmugBlame? But I think all would just get one vote since no one else would visit. A large tie, so they all win!!!! (or loose, as the game goes)
Cheers Anthony !!! I’ll bend an elbow later, 8am is a little early.
Looking for the hat trick next year.
[Reply: This year was the hat trick. (Hat Trick = 3). ~dbs, mod.]
Congrats to all. Anthony, I am very happy for you personally. You put a lot of hard work and dedication into WUWT and it shows. It is a labor of love and one of dedication to science and discovery. I can’t be more happy with the results! Please, keep up the good work (and special thanks to the mods who do much of the heavy lifting!).
Great news, congrats to all. Been through most of the comments and there’s nothing to add, but I cannot not mention the Truth with a capital T. We, the people are always searching for the Truth which will set us free from the Lie. The Truth has won the day; it will surely win the future too and we can see it coming.
Congrats Anthony, Jo Nova, Steve M, others. Way to go!
I stand corrected. They all start blending together after a while (and a few cold ones, but not today).
This quite an achievement for an Anti-Science blog..

Holy clean sweep Batman!

Lifetime Achievement … WUWT
Big-time congratulations to the Fantastic Four (as coined upthread by johanna).
Please say a prayer for the mental health of Gleick, Mann, Romm, Tamino and all the other unhinged members of Team CO2 who will wake up to this news this morning and have to be reminded of this fact every day for the next year.
Congratulations to all.
wOw! Clean sweep!
It just goes to show ya that massive funding by evil oil companies can swing the resul… oh wait… they give all the money to the CAGW alarmists. Never mind.
Well then, congratulations to all and a special congrats to WUWT for the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Congratulations to each of the winners! In recognition of these awards, I will this evening open a brown bottle for each blogger and thoroughly outgas all the CO2 contained therein.
This deserves Sticky Status! Congrats to all!
Well done Anthony…
You and Jo have done wonders for us all…
Long live the internet and free speech, good shit!!!
Tide runneth out, I guess the alarmists can console themselves with the $100M they just got from HP foundation.
Congratulation!
God’s in his heaven, all is right with the world…
Well done and your smile and mine will be broader when considering the look on PZ Myers’ face.
Woohoo!
Congratulations to all! This was well earned
Congrats Anthony, Tallbloke, jo, & Steve !!! Well deserved all !!
I am troubled by the absence of congrats from folks like Joel Shore, R. Gates, Connolly, LT, A phizzer-cist. These folks should DEFINITELY give you a nod for allowing them to post on your site. They claim the moral high ground, but are not good representatives of that position. Hmmm,……
