GSN Game Show Awards Nominees

The GSN Game Show Awards aired on June 6th, 2009. The categories ran the gamut from the usual suspects, to silly and fun.

Some of the categories are, admittedly, on the lame side. "Favorite Prize," for example, just doesn't do it for me. On the other hand, the sound effect and theme song categories are terrific. And I do think that many categories are missing some obvious nominees.

Here is the complete list of awards categories and nominees, as well as the official winners, and your choices.
