And the nominees are...   (27.10.12)
  

   We say this every year, buuuuuuuuuut once again twelve wild
   months have indeed flashed by in the blink of an eye, and once
   again, the Children's BAFTA awards are upon us.

   The better news this year is that we've caught them early, so we can
   identify, illuminate and celebrate the nominees in advance. And we
   then have a month-or-so to ponder, potificate and anticipate the  
   eventual winners. Though of course, given the current production
   climate here in the UK, they are all winners - every last one of
   them - for having made it to our screens at all.

   Anywho, without further embellishment, let's present a rundown
   of the nominations in the categories relevant to Toonhound:
