Cleaning up?

The nominations list for the 30th annual National Magazine Awards was just announced, and my current place of employment — The Walrus magazine — leads the pack with 51 nominations.

To be fair, it's not uncommon to hear stiff criticism drift the NMAs' way... the awards are often roundly criticized as being virtual hand-outs, yearly alms for Canada's publishing poor. Well, if you're of that blasé sort, let me defer to an old adage: "strength in numbers."

(Also, the next competitor down, Toronto Life, only garnered 23 nominations.)

太好了。
