Nice! This is a great idea, I may have to clone it some day!

Though, you might give it a different title (if it'd been called 'Best of the 50s Awards' or something, I'd have found it sooner).

I have already thought a lot about the title.
Your suggestion is interesting.
I think I'll change the name! ;-)
Thanks!!!
