Best Culture Blog
Nominate your choice for Best Culture Blog. Culture being somewhat in the eye of the beholder, we're looking a wide cross-section of blogs on popular culture topics.
Update (Oct. 17): Over the next 24 hours we will be closing nominations for most categories. This is a manual process so it takes a while to complete. As long as a category allows you to enter a comment (which is how you submit a nomination) nominations for that category are still open. When the option to leave a comment is not available you'll know nominations for that category are closed. The "+" rating of nominees will remain open throughout the awards.
To nominate a blog you need to leave a comment on this entry. Your comment should contain the name of the blog, the main URL for the blog, and (if possible) the URL for a RSS/Atom feed. For example:
Wizbang
http://wizbangblog.com/
http://feeds.wizbangblog.com/Wizbang
Unless you login via one of the supported authentication services your comments will be moderated. Due to the volume of comments, it may take up to 24 hours to approve your comment, but all anonymous comments will eventually be posted. Only authenticated comments will be published immediately.
Rules And FAQ's- You can nominate yourself, don't be shy.
- The number of nominations a blog receives is irrelevant. One nomination is enough...
- Rather than add a "me too" nomination for a site you're encouraged to use the "+" icon to indicate your preference for nominees. The "+" ratings are one extra piece of information the finalist selection panel can use to help generate the finalist slates in each category.
- The nomination period is scheduled to end on Wednesday, October 17, 2007.
- Read The Nomination FAQ
- Get technical help or ask questions at The Weblog Awards Forum
- If you are linking to the contest consider using the nomination category archive, as it contains links to all of the nomination posts.

MC Rebbe The Rapping Rabbi.
http://www.mcrebbe.com/blog
www.thenonist.com Great, witty, insightful, oft hilarious, and occasionally graced by the author's own brilliant artwork.
A great group culture blog of which I happen to be instigator - but not the main driver. That distinction belongs to our 40-plus bloggers.

So, what's culture? Does travel counts as we're discovering different cultures and events in the world?
I've started something called Lifecruiser cyber cruise, where we're a bunch of blogs sharing cultural things on our trips with each other.

No one beats the Anchoress, but in the race for honorable mention please consider the Reasonable Minds blog, "a modest effort to redeem our political and cultural discourse from incivility, partisan caricature, and intentional impasse."

The Shelf:
These guys write great stuff about classic popular culture and entertainment. And every once in a while they write something very thoughtful about life, politics, or history:
The Shelf
The Iconoclast, the blog of the new English Review.

Described (by somebody else) as a delightful motley, this is a celebration of our culture with an eye open for that which threatens it.

Because these guys know movies and they are not afraid to take on the leftists in Hollywood who seemed to have ruined the film industry.

Libertas
http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/
I have to go with Libertas:
http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/
I know what to look for (and look out for!) when it comes to Hollywood! And it's the perfect combination of educatoin and humor!!
Libertas!! Very incisive commentary on the movie business. Updates it constantly. Very funny and take-no-prisoners. No other blog like it out there.
Terrific blog about film, culture and conservatism or the lack of in Hollywood and film making today.
Libertas. Excellent blog.
http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/
I was going to suggest Libertas. However, having read the instructions I won't bother with another redundant nomination (I just clicked on the crosses in a few of the existing ones), and I'll instead nominate the so far unnominated Kyle Smith Online:
http://kylesmithonline.com/
For Best Culture Blog, SpoutBlog, the blog of the movie community site Spout.
SpoutBlog

Knowledge is Power (KisP) is a daily read.

Since Libertas already has a few nominations, this guy is another worthy -

LIBERTAS
http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/
Everyone in Hollywood should be reading Libertas. Articles and film reviews by DH are top notch.
Also, the people who post in the comments are very good too; some of the best film discussions on the internet!

If it seems like the world or just the blogosphere is all hard edged and hard hitting all the time, if you're in the mood for some good photos, a delightful poem, some thoughtful reminiscences, maybe a funny cartoon or two, drop by Alone On A Limb.

Terrell brings to his well-crafted blog the qualities of a modern Renaissance man. A kindly and proud educator, writer, husband, father and American, he's keenly interested in the environment, his community and country. Whatever the subject, he writes intelligently and from the heart. It's affirming, spirit lifting and high quality all the way.
