National Magazine Ellie Award Finalists Announced

Alas, once again, I've been overlooked for an Ellie award from the MPA. But for those lucky potential winners (i.e., you have "the" and "new" and "yorker" in your title), it's a heady time of the season. Nominated! Again! Like Meryl Streep at the Academy Awards, the Conde Nast people might still be let down in the end.

Or not.

Anyway, here's the list of the 2010 National Magazine Award (aka Ellie's) finalists, courtesy of the MPA:
