I have a feeling Pathfinder is going to run away with a bunch of awards. It not that I have any strong feelings for or against the system. I just think it'll coast by on relative familiarity and a wave of anti-4E sentiment.
Also... if D&D Insider wins an award after the disastrous roll-out last year, then we'll know the awards are fixed.
Dark Heresy is probably going to do quite well as well.
I have my fingers crossed for Hellas in it's categories though. It's a very attractive piece of material.

Ehehe, quite true.
And not only for the insider... ;)
I'd like to Hunter run away with something. That was a damn good book, imho
I don't know enough to vote on most categories...I guess I'll limit myself to Cover Art, Podcast, Website and Free Product.
On both categories its in, HELLAS is the only game I've looked at. Can't do any comparisons, though.
Dark Heresy has an awesome universe, amazing production values, beautiful art and fantastic writing. But the rules? Ouch. Not good rules. Not sure why it was nominated in that category.
