!!


The Nominations round of the Sackies has come to a close, we’ve tallied up thousands of nominations, and we’ve come up with a list of finalists for each category. Exciting!

Once again we ask you to pick your favourite levels, but this time you may pick only one level (or creator) from each category, the ones with the most votes in two weeks time will take home the prize. You can vote by going to the page of the level you wish to win, links to all the finalists are below, and to help you choose, we’ve compiled some videos of the finalists…

This is one of 9 videos we've made to showcase all the nominees:

..I am nominated for creator of the year AND best gameplay of the year?!
Well this is unexpected!

Good luck to all of the nominees! I love how the sackies are handled this year with actual fancy videos and a proper nomination stage to back it up. It's all rather shine and epic.
Quick question: Do the winners recieve actual sackboy statues?

It has been hinted that there will be a few more categories chosen in secret rather than by popular vote. Who can say what varied people and levels may be honoured in the final ceremony?

That's the thing about letting EVERYONE nominate their favorite levels and creators... they tend to pick their favorites. I'm not sure it'd make any sense to do it differently.

I was worried because of that, spam levels would've reigned supreme since in-game many players (mostly young) would pretty much yay and heart everything they play, if they'd use lbp.me they'd probably do the same thing (but replace hearts and yays with queue's and nominations). And I was wathching trending levels on lbp.me from time to time (since its based upon queues) and i saw quite a load of spam levels (from the common level spammers).

Who knows, maybe they were the most voted but spaff personally looked through the levels and disqualified them.

No matter its still a fantastic list of nominees , i just wish they'd just do what they did last time and gave all nominees the pins instead of just the winner, because all you guys seriously deserve them


EDIT: Oh i should see if all of the nominees have a recording on youtube, and maybe do a little homage to the ones that don't, right after i finish my little surprise

Well then your essentially getting an award for getting more plays/having a better reputation than anyone else, especially considering the only levels the community tends to play the most is that of the MM picks, cool pages, etc.

It makes sense if the purpose of the ceremony is to award the most popular creators. If it's to objectively consider something "the best", then I think that there should be a criteria and a board of judges who play submissions by creators.

Some good stuff in there.
Might have to play a few of these levels.
That star wars level (jules) deserved to be in level of the year though, as it was great all around.

To all who voted Vectroids for level of the year, best gameplay, best use of a story and best cinematics.... Both of you.... Thank you!

And to those who voted For Grab the Yellow Things for best graphics....Spaff had to remove it from the ballot since it was released the previous year. Sorry.

I got none But thank you for all who ever voted for my levels (i know at least one ^^) and gz to all nommeny.

Theees quite a oddness thru gameplay category seems useless since it's nearly level of the year mirror, but that supprice me the most is multiplayer category.... seems like community love scenerinc levels more for multiplayer level then actual multiplayer versus levels XD

I told my other half I'd been nominated, cue slight dissappointment when I explained a shmoozy fizz fuelled red carpet affair was unlikely.

Had a hard time choosing, lots of great and varied levels in there. Would have loved to have seen MrMik and Lightmare up there for their gameplay though.

Thanks midnight, just happy to get a nod in!

Congrats to all the nominees. I'm just surprised to be there when my last level was published about a year ago, and creators like Lockstitch didn't get a single nomination.
Also, not pretending to be an a$$hole, but some levels with many chances to win were not published in 2011. But anyway... this is a party, so let's enjoy it.
Maybe I'm just having a bad day

Well done to all the nominees. I'm chuffed that some of my personal choices were selected. And the lists have given me plenty of extremely cool-looking levels to check out in future, stuff I somehow managed to miss first time around. Queued for later...!2012-02-17 14:30:00

Suggestion to the winners to create a level in which you make an acceptance speech. Ricki Gervais sackbot is optional.2012-02-17 16:42:00

THANKS ^^ and good luck to all the nominated sackies!!!2012-02-18 00:45:00

Congratulations to all nominated! Those are really great levels and truly deserving. I wish you all could win. Wouldn't it be cool if you actually got a real life brass sackboy trophy?2012-02-18 04:25:00

Congrats to all the nominees...
But anyway... this is a party, so let's enjoy it.


Always wise words.

Congrats to whoever get nominated. You all deserve it.

But sincerely I want to hug everyone that didn't get a nomination.
You all deserve much more for all your sweat, passion, patience.
You're as great as the creators that are there.
If many have not been chosen it's because of bad luck, or idiocy of a community that sometimes is blind towards the talent and dumb towards the works of services like the various spotlights/hidden gems/various contests.

The community is not only made of top creators.
If those vids teach something is that many newcomers unexpectedly bested the old school.
And many talents are still hidden, and unfortunately not recognized.

I hope that this Sackies won't be the next occasion to create divisions and jealousies in the Community...

I for one won't vote.
I simply don't want to prefer the work and dedication of a friend over the passion of another.
It's a thing that I can't and don't want to do.

But...good luck

Several levels I helped with have been selected, which is pretty cool... However, there are two separate categories each that have two levels I helped on! Hmmm... conundrum, luckily some of them are in multiple categories but hard decisions!2012-02-18 10:32:00

i throw my hat off to all the nominees.
I still feel that the wrong choices were chosen. yup some levels are great and their are a few here but then there are those that are seriously weak and other creators, the unknown creators who spend a few hours on cool pages with really good levels that are well worth Mm picks before a bomb survival beats them to it. i think it should be more a choice then those few

True.... but the bottom line is that it was done democratically. People went to lbp.me, every single player had the ability to choose... and they chose. And now the finalists are done the same way. Regardless of whether the right levels were chosen, they were... chosen.

Actually, considering the entire community got a chance to vote, I'm pretty pleased with the results. Every creator in the list is quality, all the levels are great. Many were overlooked, but that's the way the world works.

I still cannot believe that my Demented Doodles 3 level is a nominee for Best Visuals. >.< I've never received an Mm pick so I would of never expect to be a finalist for such an event. I am pitted against such creative and far more advanced creators than me I am scared, nervous and yet honored lol. I wish to crongatulate all the nominees and a BIG thank you for everyone who nominated my level! - throws "thank you" cakes to everyone here-

Are the vote-tallying machines1 being overworked? Just kick them around a bit! I can't wait to see jackofcourse finally dethroned from his Creator of the Year status2, so he can stop bringing it up all the time.

1 I assume this is why StevenI was hired.
2 Also, it'll be fun see how badly steve_big_guns beat the rest of us plebes.

All the time = when you're being a whiny little girl...

Dethroned still leaves me part of such illustrious history, sweetie. You keep working hard and you never know, one day you might get to join me...

...and since (as comph well knows)...


The symmetric property states:

For any quantities a and b, if a = b, then b = a.

...it logically follows that...


when you're being a whiny little girl = all the time

I knew it!
