Wow! That’s one hell of a murderers row of nominees! Leading the pack is the ruler of Wolvesden himself, Kenny Drake, who scores a whopping 11 nominations, though he’s followed closely by his former ally Nate Cage, who nets an impressive 10 noms in his freshman year. Sweet Roxy can make the claim of being the most nominated Goddess, capping off her stellar year with six nods. Whoever wins on the night will surely be the deserving winner. But with names like these in the mix, it’s anyone’s to take! Be sure to tune into the awards ceremony live on the OWA Network this Friday!
