Well, as the nominations should include the most popular mods in each category, with download figures not being available for all options, it seems to me that the most objective and definite way to determine "popularity" is by the views count for the mod threads in question. According to those stats as they stand at the time of nomination (today), the nominations for Shogun 2 should be listed in the following particular order...

Most Popular Hosted Mod and Compilation/Overhaul Mod: All In One Mod; Radious Total War Mod; Shogun 2 Realism (for the hosted alternatives in this category, I based the nominations on the download thread)
Most Popular Unit Pack and Stats Mod: Additional Units Mod; Unit Pack Compatibility Project; General Cornwallis's European Invasion (FOTS) (ruled out FOTS Artillery Unit Pack as an option due its creator being said to be indefinitely banned and therefore probably cannot recieve any award)
Most Popular Gameplay Tweaks and Miscellaneous Mod: Expanded Japan Mod; Yarkis Reduced AI Cheating Mod; Extended Years Mod
Most Popular Visuals and Audio Mod: Shogun 2 Overhaul Project; Alternative Clan Colours; Daimyos & Generals Mod

I guess the nominations for "Most Popular Modder" should include not only those with the greatest mod ideas or most productive, but also those most helpful with advice, generous with permissions, civil in behaviour and like quality people. There are no objective views count figures for that. I find it more difficult to nominate anyone or not nominate anyone here, so will refrain from doing so.

Anyhow, good luck to all nominees!

Most popular = what do YOU prefer. There is no reason to organize a vote for awards, if it could be done automatically based only on the number of views.

Obviously so. I just think the options for awards should include those with proven popularity in this way. Wouldn't like to win something just because people preferring other mods forgot to nominate them.
