In the spirit of the Oscars, we plan to publish batches of nominations this week for Pro Wrestling Academy Awards. We may run polls later this week to pick winners from the top nominees.

Do you think Vince McMahon is the best lead actor on wrestling television, showing the most range? Or is it Kurt Angle, or someone else? For supporting actor, do you give the nod to Hornswoggle or Eric Young or even Shark Boy? For best documentary, was it World Class or another over the past year? Is Karen Angle the best lead actress, or would that go to Michelle McCool or someone else? Best supporting actress? How about Sharmell or Christy Hemme? Who's got the best costume design? From an overall production value standpoint, does Raw stand out above the rest? Or was a particular PPV set better? Or Impact? How about best entrance theme? John Cena? Edge? Christian?

The complete category list is as follows, and you can pick and choose which categories to write about. Please nominate between one and four for each category you wish with a short explanation for each nominee or category:
