Why not just vote our top ten (or twelve) from the list? I mean, just picking 2 from all those winners seems excruciating to me.

With 81 nominations, that would mean the #1 only getting like 25 points or so. That list needs to be reduced by around half for this to work properly. I'm sure all the good / popular choices will be nominated.
