The members of the nominations committee consisted of knowledgeable members of the soundtrack community.  They individually presented their nominations to the awards coordinator (Email) and the top candidates are those shown in the above list of nominees.  The nominations committee had no further involvement past this point.

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.
