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

The first Weblog Award for Best Science site looked like this.
This time, RealClimate SkepticalScience, Tamina, Closed Mind, Greg Laden, etc., didn’t even make the finals. They are becoming irrelevant, which is why we’re starting to get their refugees.
That’s OK, we can handle them. They have mostly talking points and projection, while we have real science and the truth on our side. And we have a kicker: Anthony Watts, a real straight shooter. That’s something the other side lacks.

Congratulations to Anthony, JoNova, Steve McIntyre,and Tallbloke. This is a very pleasing occasion to see all of you in the winners circle. I think it also says a lot about the power of the blog.
Truly, these awards are measures of popularity. Your articles are popular because they are truthful, and your comment sections are popular because they are inclusive, and everybody is welcome to comment. The truth is power, and blogs are the most innovative advance in publishing since the Gutenberg Press.
Keep it up, folks. You are driving the debate.

This kind of performance, despite being re-categorized into a much bigger sandbox, says a lot.
Congratulations, Anthony (and everyone else who makes this place so special)!

Congrats Anthony, Steve, Tallbloke and Jonova!
What I find amazing is that the other winners, Jonova, Best Australian/NZ Weblog, Tallbloke, Best European, Steve McIntyre, Best Canadian, are not even in science categories, they represent continental interests! That is huge!
I am over the moon for all four of you!

Congratulations to the other winners.
Tallbloke is away at the moment, out of radio contact, he is going to have a nice surprise.
Recent events between WUWT and the Talkshop are unfortunate, I watched from behind the scenes. I doubt anyone is bad so much as emotions can run high, things get out of hand. Ultimately and regardless of initial opinions and feelings the real world will speak, even if that takes many years. Isn’t this the real point, we have to discuss and talk, find out, above all the real world is supposed to be fun. As a designer of things people buy it is both scary and rewarding taking the world forwards, seeing the things people do with things you created and never imagined.
So it is with a blog. Little did we know what would come next.

Congrats to all the Skeptic Blogs that are making a clean sweep tonight!!!!!!!!!
An, oh yes, here is some consolation for Peter Gleick (a regular blogger at Huffington):
Best Weblog About Politics: The Huffington Post http://huffingtonpost.com/ !!!!
Sweet! Considering that Peter Gleick, the high-profile scientist, blogs only his political propaganda and absolutely nothing relating to Science!
