Zgamer's Return, Predictions and Reactions

Hey all, as I've mentioned a couple times now, I just returned from a long hike that has lasted four days. I guess Michael is still on vacation, so I will comment on the nominations.

First of all, thank you all for the nominations for The Valley of Ashes and Rehab!: A Contemporary Musical. I was really glad to be greeted with this news when I came back from the hike. I also want to congratulate the other nominees (particularly A New Agenda) and wish them all luck. And I also want to thank you all for my author nomination. It's really exciting to actually be back in the main competition rather than sitting in the sidelines for technical awards. I wish everyone extra luck cause this is going to be a close race. Which leads into my predictions (with my baits excluded of course):
