The voting committee consisted of active and influential members of the soundtrack community.  They had 36 hours to vote.  All voting was done fairly and unbiasedly for the most deserving candidate.  Each voting member had 1 vote per category.  The above results are the results of their voting.  Thank you to everyone who voted and helped with this project.
