Too bad they didn't list a 2nd & 3rd placed HD Title of the year. I would be very interested in those results as well.

That seems more like spam to me.

I'm surprised "Planet Earth" was not listed. I saw that on HDTV and it was amazing.

These results are ....surprsing I think. What was the criteria in chosing a winner?

How can they have these awards when more HD titles are coming before the end of the year?

I'm not quite sure how credible these awards can be. Some of the winners just seem suspect.

How is it that the Blu-ray version of 300 won Best Title, yet the HD DVD version won best Bonus Feature. If all things are equal (sound/picture and other features) but the HD DVD version adds a Best Feature that the Blu-ray version doesn't have, then shouldn't the HD DVD version win Best Title by logical default?

Yeah, because other catalog titles like Pirates, Cars, etc that had excellent sound and picture quality too, as well as a ton of bonus features didn't quite add up to this bare bones release.

Blade Runner and Harry Potter might give that a run for it's money...

I agree Toefur, those points really make no sense.
