Ninth Art's Lighthouse Awards '04 The largely mainstream-focused on-line commentary and review publication Ninth Art published their year-end awards yesterday. I'm not sure why I missed it, as Ninth Art is something I check out every week, although perhaps I did look at the awards and the terrifyingly phallic logo caused me to black out and forget I had.
I'm going to list their winners here; they actually do runners-up in each category as well.

Yeah, I noticed the title and logo have different years, too.
