Like we do every year, Bloody Elbow put the best of 2016 up for a vote. Eight categories were available to chime in on, and our readers did exactly that - to the tune of 30,000+ votes. I'd like to thank you for your responses, and here's how it all broke down.

You can click on each individual category for the full breakdown, but I'll just show the top three-vote-getters here.

The number beside each nominee is the number of votes received, and the % is the % of total votes.
