HD Awards 2013 Nominations

Today I announce my nominations for Salazar Family Circle's Annual HD Awards. I added a couple more categories and I have feeling that will be the end of any new additions. This year was really tricky to pick the best because there were a lot of standout performances and productions. Nonetheless I present the very best in HD this year. Tell us what you think of the nominees and who you think was the best. Let us know if you think we missed something. We will Announce the Winners Later this week!
