LITERARY CATEGORY

.

Keongomaniac Book of the Year The Keongomania Awards Literary Category is very much still under preliminary stages. Proposals are under way to further refine this category, to include separate Fiction and Non-Fiction recognitions. This year the Keongomaniac Writer of the Year recognition is not included for lack of contenders.

.

Sir Heath's first book-length biography titled Heath Ledger: His Beautiful Life And Mysterious Death written by British journalish John McShane is named the Keongomaniac Book of the Year. It chronicles Sir Heath's acting career before and in Hollywood with references to all his movies productions. This is considered Sir Heath's 3rd win, not including The Dark Knight's wins as a movie.

.

Philip Pullman's second book in His Dark Materials trilogy (first was Northern Lights, also known as The Golden Compass) The Subtle Knife receives a Special Mention. His Dark Materials was expected to win Book of the Year, but unfortunately the purchase of the last book The Amber Spyglass was disrupted for unspecified reasons.

MISCELLANEOUS CATEGORY

Keongomaniac Past Year Commendation

This is the newly-introduced Keongomaniac Past Year Commendation (the only non-Of-The-Year recogniton in a Miscellaneous Category). This recognition is created to allow entities that were not given recognition in its year (for any reason whatsoever) to be acknowleged the following year. Usually this applies to the Music Category, where competition are stiff with a large number of competitors. Seen by some as a 'make-up' recognition, The Keongomaniac states it clearly that winners of this recognition is of equal status as any Keongomania Award winners.

.

Maroon 5's It Won't Be Soon Before Long is given the Keongomaniac Past Year Commedation. If measured by the Keongomania Awards standards, this album now stands equal to winners of the Keongomaniac Album of the Year (i.e Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds and Mariah Carey's E=MC2).

.

Songs wise, 3 songs are noted - Any Winehouse's Back To Black, Young Folks, and Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna. All 3 songs are given re-recognition due to Gossip Girl Season 1's popularity.
