Well, that's the thing - the RACCies look at the past year, while the Hall of 
Fame looks at all time. Or in other words...

Citizen Kane didn't win an Oscar. Rebel Without a Cause didn't even get 
nominated; neither did Psycho. There are stories that are popular and beloved 
in their time, but what are the stories that stand the test of time, that are 
still influential years, *decades* later? That's what we're judging here.

(Speaking of which, I wonder if we should put some limit on how new something 
can be before it goes into the Hall.)

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, hmmmm.
