Oh good, I'm glad Choobs said that so I didn't have to.
Ganesh is not a big deal.
P.S. Julia for Best Character Formspring, why not, I'm sympathetic to her for just having answered a handful of questions.

I say Ganesh deserves a shot. He might not be the most major character up there, and he might not have had any dramatic exposition, but I think he's a perfectly realized personality. He captured that simple, loving, pet mentality in a way that few other works got exactly right (Well, besides Up. But that's Pixar. They're cool like that.)
I mean, out of the rest of the list, half are underdeveloped/unsteady, and haven't really fully accomplished their personality's potential/demonstration (Lucas, Emily, Tanner, Samm, Hugh), while there are others (Dace, Illiana) which have had a slow feeling out of their personality, and have just recently (activity-wise, Dace hasn't moved in months) started showing exactly why they're so great.
Ganesh might not quite deserve the win (That'd go to Yoon, Julia, or Jonas), but I think it's being overly presumptuous to exclude a character whose personality was totally together and functioning, out of the box, and managed to uplift and balance a lot of the weaker points in an otherwise strong RP.
So, all in all: Ganesh may have been a low mark to aim for, but Pohatu hit the bullseye with atomic precision.

I dunno about the Julia formspring nom since most of those questions were answered just now, in 2011, which is the future.

Hey kids, guess what time it is? It's time for our first batch thoughts from the EXYPERTS. Since we're getting pretty close to the end of the preliminoms, I've contacted our panel of lovely experts, asking them a few questions regarding the proceedings. Lee's been busy, so that's fine, but here are the others' words. Maybe their expert opinions will sway you or something. What are your thoughts on the new system?Pohatu: As I said, I really like the extra depth added by the seconding process. We have to scrutinize other people's nominations as well as our own. I see a nominee that's still hanging there unseconded in the OP and I think (unless I was the one who nominated it, which is often in the Oscars), "Do I agree that this is a worthy nominee, and would it be sporting of me to second it? On the other hand, is there already a nominee for this award which I hope to see win, and how much would seconding this nominee hurt that one's chances?" Okay they doesn't sound so well-formed when I'm just thinking them but those are the questions. It's interesting to uncover the line where one's own interests stop and one's community values begin. Elliot: The changed system is, uh... I can't even lie. I didn't notice a change? Am I just a silly? Is it the thing with the honorary awards and seconding noms and stuff? Because that's a pretty awesome system. It means there's less mess to have to seive through and a smaller change of split awards and stuff, which I think is pretty solid for something like this. SV: I'm seriously liking it. I was sort of underwhelmed with last year's awards show, and it seems like there's been a lot more interest this year. Combining preliminaries and nominations speeds the whole process up and makes for a stream-lined, hands-on feel. Are the changes responsible for the participation? Did we just have a really exciting year on the Exy? Who knows. I'm not complaining, though. What category(s) are you most excited to see the result for?Pohatu: Mostly just all the Oscars. Also, Best Couple. WOOOOOOOO Elliot: I would have to say, I'm interested to see who wins Best Role Model. Purely because someone nominated me and I have no idea why, I am a terrible role model. Most Dedicated Member would be interesting too, since I'd say it's a pretty close call between everyone nomiseconded so far. Best Overall RP, Best Premise and Best Cast all interest me because of the number of very strong contenders there. It'll be interesting to see what the general population of Exodus considers to be the best in these categories, and which ones they think were executed the best. Biggest Penis. Every RPer award, because of the variety of people who've been nominated there. SV: The Oscars, probably. RP is really the lifeforce of the Exy. There's so much talent behind it. I'm interested in seeing what everyone picks as the best of the best. Oh, and, anything I was nominated for. Vote SV! *wink wink* (I kid, I kid...) What nominee do you think could use more love?Pohatu: Entertain the Masses for Best Atmosphere; Renard watches the surveillance tape for Best Plot Twist (or, I don't know, was Yoon was at the Gallery more of a proper plot twist? Should I substitute that?); and every non-seconded nominee in the running for Best Recent Character, Best Personality & Best Comic Character; all of these deserve your attention. P.S. Best Debut also needs lovin'. Like whoa. Elliot: I'd say nearly everyone who hasn't been seconded yet, to be honest. I know I'm contradicting what I've already said, but there's a whole bunch of nominations that haven't been seconded and really deserve to be (both of the Best Two Minute Members, for example, Esther for Best Debut, for another). SV: Honestly, I was expecting a little more Elliot in the RP awards and Pulitzers. Ninety and Biscuit, too, across the boards. And Kuro. Oh, and Bulbs and DL. So much awesome! So few awards to fit it into!

Somebody second Ganesh, or I'm changing my avatar to a crying Phanpy until March. I'm serious. How can you not vote for something like THIS. It's like saying no to puppies, hugs, and love. See what your not seconding is doing? Look at this face. Look at it. See what you've done? You cold bastards.

Fine OKAY I second Ganesh, jeeeeeez I also nominate Vieve and Thyra for Best Image. I think either or both of them is better than either or both of Antonio and Williams.

Ah, thank you Pohatu. Ganesh can sleep peacefully now, kicking his adorable little elephant feet.
I’m just going to do Seconds unless something sticks out to me as especially deserving, since I doubt I’ll gather the necessary seconds for anything but the most egregious of incidents.
-Happiest Member: Kevin -Coolest: Qzumaki (how has she not been seconded?) -Best Artist: I’m going to nom Stel. Even though he hasn’t got enough representation on here yet to really slug it out with the big three, he’s still pretty… okay, I won’t say Stellar, but only because a pun that bad is a federal offense. He rocks and deserves notice. -Loveliest: I’ll second myself. I get hit on regularly by both genders and three of the four normal orientations. -Most Missed: I’ll second SV. Girl, what’s up?
-Most Run Down: I’m gonna go with SV, Blood, and BB. They’ve all… gone pretty far off the radar as of late. Blood doesn’t even show up in the staff boards much right now.
-Best Name: I’ll second myself to make off with that cool honorable award. -Best Image: I’ll second Pohatu’s Vieve and Thyra drawings. Freakin’ perfect. -Best Post Racer: HOW IS KUROBOOM NOT UP HERE IN ALL OF HIS DOLPHIN PUNCHING AWESOMENESS? I’m ashamed of you guys. Between this and Ganesh not getting enough love, I’m tempted to nominate “The Exodus” for “Worst Taste”.
-Best Personality: I’ll second Dace, even if it DOES split the Fallfish vote. I doubt that Fallfish is likely to win anything this year, since Pohatu has other loves to woo, and Blood’s been sucked into Minecraft perpetually. -Best Dramatic Character: I’ll second Thyra. Though she’s not so much “Best Dramatic” as she’d be “Best Non-Action Character” as she’s more of a mellow talker that’s good with conversation than some figure with the wild emotional/situational swings Drama needs. -Best Debut: I’ll second Reba. Doubtful she’ll go anywhere, but she can use the press. I’ll also second Esther, who has an EXCELLENT debut under her belt. (Yet again, how is this not fully seconded yet? Worst Taste Award, you guys. Worst Taste.) -Best Development: Kuro, who’s finally grown a personality and broke free of the power level prison, and Prime, who… well, likewise.

I second choobs for Most Annoying because the fuck if I'm going to win this again this year.
seriously, the fuck you guys.
Actually, I don't think anyone really deserves this award. Shit, not even Prime and he totally gets on my nerves like none other (sorry prime D:) but he is still a good guy.

Last seconding push.
I second Gasoline and Ishkabibble for Best Plot. Sorry to leave Last Best Hope out in the cold, but an RP with only eight replies so far would be hard-pressed to qualify. Next year maybe.
I'll second Mandelbrot vs. Lucas & Scar, a fight I would have nominated myself if I hadn't apparently forgotten about it.
Seconding the al-Burak boys for Best Comic Character.
Haven't Lee and Loogs already seconded Esther and Mayordomo for Best Debut, respectively?
Guys! Channery and Yoon for Best Development! People should totes second those. (I thought this post would include a lot more whining, but it looks like those are the only two left I still really want to push for.)
Seconding Sandman for Most Creative Character.
