Close to two months since the start of the submission stage, the time to reveal the Sixth Annual LAMMY nominess is now! 1500+ blogs have been narrowed to 18 categories, and this is the moment when you get to learn which sites/podcasts/vlogs/people were selected by your peers to be amongst the nominees.

Voting on the nominees starts April 17th and closes April 30th. Meanwhile, the Official LAMMY Nominee list will be published on the LAMB site (plus possible press release) tomorrow, April 16th — note that we intentionally hold the printed list for one day - we encourage members to support the LAMBCast ratings by not independently publishing the list prior to this time.

But first, the show itself! Shepherd Joel Burman took his first spin in the hosting seat for this episode event, and was joined by fellow LAMMY moderator David, as well as LAMMY FYC moderator Bubbawheat and two first-time LAMBcasters, Misty Layne of Cinema Schminema and Aurora of Once Upon a Screen... and Citizen Screenings

Also on tap:

* Rants and Raves of the Week
* Name That Film Times Five (tentatively titled)

A few notes:

* The LAMBcast can be found, along with the LAMB's latest official podcast, The Film Pasture, via iTunes. Also, I always post a link to the show on the LAMBcast's Facebook page, and there's a player there if you'd like to listen online. The direct RSS feed is: http://lambcast.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

* Shows will eventually make their way to the LAMBcast Archives. If you'd ever like to catch up on back episodes, go there.

* If interested, you too can be a LAMBcaster - we love new blood! For more information on the LAMBcast, check out the topic at the LAMB Forums.
