The September 2008 National Board of Review Awards
September has been an interesting month to say the least and will most likely best be remembered not for the baits, but for the “drama” surrounding it. Somewhere beneath the uncertainty of the contest, and the pointless feuds, 19 baits were released which came from seasoned veterans and welcomed newcomers. The Baits that received the most votes this month (in order of points awarded) are:
TOP TEN The Fall of Havilah The Painting The Man with No Place North West Passage A Child Called It Indictment Lovechild Children of Cain First Principles Grief Cycle
