San Diego Comic-Con 2024 is behind us now, and most attendees seemed to have a stellar year outside of a few mishaps (almost all of which involved security or line management).
We’re excited to hear your own thoughts in our sixth edition of The Shruggie Awards, which, despite the name, is not celebrating the “wtf-ness” of the convention (though there’s plenty of that to go around as well!). No, these are the best of the best (and okay, one of the worst) – and we need your help to determine the winners.
This year, you submitted your nominations — and now it’s time to vote for the top answers, so they can battle it out for the ultimate Shruggie Champion. You have through Wednesday, August 7 to get your votes in, before the ultimate winners are crowned on Thursday.
So, without further ado, let’s vote for The Shruggie Awards of 2024:
