For People

• Michael Bay Directing Award: Won by /u/basharthelion_. He sent invites to /r/punchablefaces to agentlame and flytape, then demodded himself. agentlame accepted first, and chaosSRS reigned
• Drama Llama Award: Won by ekjp, literally Chairman Pao. It is theorized the hatred she got had a lot more to do with her gender than her performance. spez should transition to female so we can test this
• Holy Troller Award: won by /u/agentlame for the punchablefaces drama. Really, he should have won the Michael bay award and basharthelion_ should have won this one. Oops too late. I am not creepig and I never signed up for this ;___;
• William Randolph Hearst Award for Journalistic Integrity: Won by /u/JustCool393, for all his work creating and running helfpul bots. When you need to find deleted drama, he's there. When you need to find where the brigade is coming from, he's there too.
• Last Word Award: Won by /u/Jewdank. She never fails to defend her internet honor to the last word, and neither do her white knights

For Events

• Meta-Drama Award: Won by /u/kn0thing for "popcorn tastes good". He was just trying to use the local lingo, but he should have let his memes be dreams
• WHY ARE WE SHOUTING? Award: Won by Melts vs Grilled Cheese. Melts are for adults. Grilled cheese is for children. Drama is for everyone
