Today, I am revealing the first half of the 2019 nominations for my blog’s awards (I’m Jeffrey Rex Awards [IJR Awards]). The nominations that I will reveal today concern the television, video games, superhero, and music categories. The second half of the nominations — the film categories — will be revealed at some point in early February, so that I am able to watch some of the Oscarworthy films that won’t be released in Denmark until the beginning of 2020.
Do note that, as always, I have two honorary ‘legend’ awards for television and film. Obviously, these legend awards will not be receiving any nominees. Without further ado, let’s get to it.
