2010 Golden Acorn Awards

The 2010 Golden Acorn Awards ceremonies took place in Muppet Theatre on February 25, 2011.

This year a couple of changes to the categories were made. Since there hadn't been many new Ranger websites over the previous few years, the number of website awards was reduced. At the same time, the number of Artwork awards was increased by adding Funniest Picture, Most Romantic Picture, and Best Action/Adventure Picture to balance it out, reflect community's status, and give the Artwork section more showtime and variety.
