Well I'm always grumpy, but no I wasn't mad then. I really need to work on my Internet-Tone. I come off wrong every single time.

I think the nominations are a Bulwark against people not knowing what they're talking about, rage votes, and people voting for Person A because they forgot about Person B.

What might be smarter is if you do these things more quickly. So the day after Thanksgiving you say "If you want to nominate someone, send me your suggestions." Give that 5 days and make a point to personally PM 5 people who are highly active and know a large population.

Then open up each category with the folks nominated and create an "other" option. Not only is the process too long and visible (Why is who is nominated seen but not who is voted for?) but its forgettable. Make it much faster IMO.
