Notes:

  1. Ties in first round voting can mean there's more than 5 finalists per category, and therefore more than 50 nominations for a given year.
  2. In 1996, there were only 8 categories. The award categories Best Individual PC and Best Use of Medium had not yet been created. Also, there was a three-way tie for Best Individual NPC, which is why the table has "10 of 8c.", meaning ten awards for eight categories.
