Spoiler for reasons:

I think I’ll save my Fate/Zero votes for next year when it actually finishes.

The TV category was definitely the hardest since there was also Steins;Gate, Hanasaku Iroha, Wandering Son and Ano Hana. Same problem for the Storyline category. Slice of Life was also pretty hard due to Colorful, Ikoku Croisse and Natsume’s Book of Friends 3, which are all great too. Drama was also difficult since there was also Oujisan no Lamp and so was Original Story since there was Hanasaku Iroha and Tiger & Bunny. Voting in the Male Supporting category also proved surprisingly difficult because of a severe lack of choices and an inability to determine if they counted as support or not. I really wish I could put Star Driver in the Soundtrack category but Penguindrum just edged out. I couldn’t really vote for the Adaptation category since I don’t read much manga, LN or VN.

Overall, this year has just been unbelievably great. Unlike last year, difficulty in choosing was due to too many choices rather than too few. I have no doubt that most of the category will have a winner that I like.
