You speak with such authority, Anonymous! But you're totally wrong. The judges are listed every year in the program. Have a look. You appear to have some kind of Freudian Toronto Life envy.

The tops of Aishwarya Rai and Milos Raonic look really funny and Rai looks poorly photoshoped into place, the Akerman looks like a pose for Flare and perhaps her coverline should have said "Hollywood's new "it" girl.

NMAs are not judged by outsiders, but rather people that use to either work for Toronto Life or friends of the people who work for Toronto Life. Small industry remember.

That's my only criticism. Otherwise, I don't see how you can run down a mag as "vacuous and sensational" when it just earned a whack of mag award nominations. Unless, of course, one believes the entire mag industry is likewise lacking (which, from long following this blog, I'm sure some do).
