Well, hasn't this year been... A LOT? I am so excited to be bringing the Lipsters back for their SIXTH year of awards! I can't believe that we are more than half a decade into doing this, and we wouldn't be here without @Lad's dedication! While he is not hosting them this year, he is right by my side and deserves just as much recognition!
 
As always... here is the same pasted description from previous years, for anyone who hasn't attended one before: The Lipsters Awards 2020 are a forum event made for us, the LanaBoards community, to have a good time and reflect on the big online personalities that shined through 2020. Users nominate each other in several categories, and the winners get announced in our iconic Ceremony, which this year will take place on January 17th.
 
With that being said... here comes the exciting part! The categories for this year are...
 
DISCLAIMER: THESE AWARDS ARE PURELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. ANY CATEGORIES THAT COME OFF AS 'NEGATIVE' ARE NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK TOWARDS ANYONE, WE'VE TRIED TO CUT DOWN ON THESE TYPES OF CATEGORIES THIS YEAR. THE SITE ADMIN HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH US TO AVOID ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS! Thank you!
 

A little self-describing, this award is for those members who make LanaBoards a better place by contributing... a lot! Let’s give our Most Active member every single second of their life they’ve spent in this very nice website in the form of a cute, little award!
 

The Best Username award is reserved for those Lipsters whose intellect may very well not be spent on school or work, but rather in crafting an incredible username to brighten our days every time we see them around.
 

On the contrary, the Worst Username award is reserved for those Lipsters who probably did not give their usernames a second thought... Think of usernames that never fail to dampen your mood when you catch a glimpse.
 

This award is reserved for the very rare and hard to find members that completely revolutionize the idea of having good taste. When you discover an amazing artist only to visit their thread and find this member already lurking around in it. Someone who would never be caught dead listening to Lorde, for example! THAT would be the Best Taste on LanaBoards.
 

Did you cry when Jesy left Little Mix? Maybe you indulged on more Meghan Trainor this year than you thought you did... It's okay, we don't judge, but we WILL nominate you for this notorious award. No, we're not being mean. We're acknowledging the certain tenacity it would take to enjoy things of that nature! THAT is the Worst Taste on LanaBoards.
 

Here's a category that I wasn't sure about keeping but was told otherwise! Am I the only one that doesn't pay too much attention to statuses anymore? Anyways... we can all appreciate a good Status Updater from time to time, I mean there ARE so many iconic ones I have in my mind right now!
 
And this will be a good time to announce that, yet again, the Blogger category has ran its course. Maybe next year!
 

Let’s not forget about the sweethearts on this website! We have this member in a special place in all of our hearts. The Nicest Member never bothers to say anything mean nor rude to any of us and spread love and positivity through their posts! They take everyone’s opinions and won’t argue with those who don’t take theirs. 
 

A harsh title for a harsh member, this is for the one that actively goes out of their way to post negative content. Even though the things they say and do hurt us, the Rudest Member deserves to be rewarded too! Sticks and stones maybe break our bones...
 

Ok, time to break out your reading glasses for this part! Never forget to listen to your elders as they are wise and hold priceless stan knowledge within them, maybe a couple of 1987 Lake Placid newspaper clippings as well. 8 years of LanaBoards and we still have these Veteran Members scattered throughout, sputtering non-sense to the younger generation of Lana fans, the least we can do is thank them for sticking around!
DO NOT NOMINATE ACCOUNTS CREATED AFTER DECEMBER 31ST, 2017.
 
 

While there are members out there who you cannot avoid at any cost, there’s also the odd member who is active and has great contribution but is rather not as known as other lipsters. This is your chance to show that Underrated Member how much you appreciate them and let them know that they TOO count and deserve to be recognized!
 

Now is the moment to send our love to the babies among us, new members that have walked into all of our hearts and made their marks on LanaBoards with their little time aboard. This is for the Best New User!
DO NOT NOMINATE ACCOUNTS CREATED BEFORE JANUARY 1ST, 2019.
 

When you think Drama Queen, what do you think of? Do you think of someone who sees Lana posted a picture of the sea and immediately assumes the next album will be about Atlantis? Do you think of someone who will throw a fit because a member said the vinyl color will be red when they thought it was blue? Well whatever your definition of Drama Queen is, we will take it! Nominate the most Drama Queen member you can think of!
 

Now let us take the time to remember our sisters that don't have the pleasure of leaving their controversial comments anymore for our eyes to gaze upon. The Banned Members that some miss, some hate, and some just don't understand. We can grant them this posthumous award and reminisce all of the good (and bad... lots of bad) times we had together. #JUSTICEFORBEKIM
 

This award is reserved for those hardcore fans that breathe Miss Lana Del Rey. Do you know anyone who has studied every freckle on her body? Anyone who goes to every single tour date just to push everyone in front row out of the way? Anyone who has dug up Lana Del Rey's Bumble account? This is your chance to award the Biggest Stan for their loyalty!
 

Yes! Even on LANABoards we have some very notable Lana haters! Doesn't make sense to you? It doesn't make much sense to us either, but the Lipsters Awards have found them a purpose: being able to hold the title of Biggest Lana Hater! Sometimes the best remedy to hate is to show this person our love! Or maybe not... 
 

We all know this will go to a PC Music fan who probably has only heard Born to Die, but that's what this award is made for! LanaBoards is the home of many artists' fanbases and we take pride in that. Let's extend our kindness towards the Hybrid Fans and let them know they can poke their head out of their threads sometimes! We now have the credit of Charli XCX's acknowledgement to verify the purpose of this category as well, so that's something!
 

An award to compliment the Hottest Member that had us fanning ourselves off and frequenting the Pictures of You thread more than we care to admit! Yes, anyone can be nominated for this category regardless of gender! You're our daddy... You're everyone's daddy.
 

How naive we were last year to think the most problematic thing Lana Del Rey would do is attend a homophobic church... how very naive. Anyways, this is not the space to talk about the very many issues that have become apart of Lana's name, so we digress. We bring back the award for Most Problematic Member under yet another new name! Not quite the same as rudest member, a problematic member will be the one behind many fights and general drama that no one really cares enough to read. Someone who finds enjoyment in seeing catastrophe.
 

This title is reserved for those members that create art: let it be graphic design, OnlyFans, music or (a lesser known art) video editing. Every single one of those artists count. It's hard work! Recognize your favorite talent and Best Artist!
 

This will not be an open category. This award and its nominees will be decided and hand-picked by our very exclusive and elite committee. What was once known as the Qaadird Howard Vanguard Award, it's now taken on a more not-so-relevant name. We want to award those members who are known by everyone, who are on everyone's mouth and whose relevancy makes lots jealous. Not to be confused with Lipster of the Year, this award is for all those relevant users whose popularity doesn't mean they ARE the user of the year, but still pretty successful on their own. Committee members have chosen to remain anonymous.
 
I am also saddened to say that we have decided not to bring back the Christina Lucci award for Most Sluttiest, but may Christina forever bounce in our chests and minds.
 

Now I think we can all agree that this is Lana's most drama filled year yet, so feel free to nominate anything you’d consider big and eventful that happened on this site AND regarding Lana. I'd like to make sure to emphasize that this is ONLY about drama that has happened ON this site, and in relation to Lana, so here is your chance to narrow it down to the Drama of the Year! 
Please keep unnecessary off-site drama away from this category. Thank you!
 
Also, there will not be a Thread of the Year award this time around.
 

The sheer amount of leaks we got this year could sustain us for... well maybe like another month or two and then we will have people begging for more, but that's beside the point! Lots of choices to choose from, I actually think it's the most we've had since 2016! What was YOUR Leak of the Year? This will be voted on in the second phase of voting like previous years. 
 
 

 
The award for the Clown of the Year. Consider this the opposite of the Lipster of the Year, someone who showcased exceptional art in clownery and managed to completely fool themselves into thinking Chemtrails was coming every single Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday of the year. Just because you are a clown doesn't mean we think badly of you either! Clowns have always brought entertainment to those around them, and that is the reason why this is a special award. It's not easy being so foolish!
 

And finally... the most important, exclusive, anticipated award of the night... Lipster of the Year! This award goes to the member who was on a level higher than everyone else! Not just anyone could get this title, you have to work for it. Someone that we feel is the embodiment of our website and is ready to brandish the cherished title.
 

Pre-selection begins NOW and will run through December 31st.
Click THIS LINK to submit your vote for pre-selection!
 
Here’s some information you may wish to learn about to correctly participate in the Preselection period:
1. Please submit at least 2 or 3 pre-nominees for each category. You just have to separate each user with a comma so it's not one long continuous name!
 
2.  You have to vote in every category, pretty please. You can skip some if you want, but please - I beg you - try to fill in most categories. You have quite some time to figure out your pre-nominees, don’t be lazy! Also recognize that some categories like Veteran Member or Best New Member have rules of their own.
 
3. Do not spam vote. Don't vote for the same people in ALL categories, please consider there's a lot of users out there who deserve it just as much as your friends circle!
 
4. Try to trust in your own charm and preferably do not vote for yourself! This isn't a rule, but I'm just putting it out there. 
 
5. As soon as you submit your ballot, please let me know in this thread that you have voted. Just in case there’s someone trying to impersonate you. This place has history with people who enjoy impersonating, am I right?.
 
6. Don’t worry, I turned off the compile emails option. Your privacy is safe!
 

The Voting stage will start with the official nominees announcement on January 4th, 2021 and ends January 16th.
 
 
Also don't forget to say thank you to Honeymouns and @RormanNockwell for the amazing theme and artworks! That is one of the hardest things about these awards!

I know we shit talk her for ‘ruining’ BAR by reworking it and putting it on NFR, but I think the demo we got was a super super early version, and she ‘ruined’ it way before NFR. 
 
In this video during the LFL era, when she talks about ‘Architecture’ she mentions both Topanga and Malibu. In the demo version we got (which was what we assumed she was talking about, it’s the only version we had) she doesn’t mention Malibu or Topanga, but in the version we got on NFR we do! (Topangas hot tonight. We play the eagles down in Malibu)
 
I also LOL at the fact that she says “Architecute I talked about that one so much!” But she literally didn’t say a word about it. It got leaked as BAR and Shazam started recognizing it and called it Architecture..She didn’t say anything about it herself

Question for the Boards:
Now that Elle, Elle, Elle, Elle, Elle and Nicki Minaj have had hit threads about Chemtrails, Lana’s Engagement, American Standards, Summertime (The Gershwin Version) etc - can I please go back to posting about being excited, feeling ready by preparing for the awards even if the ceremony is not perfect, or what categories we have - or whatever I want -without being crucified or saying that I'm glamorizing LanaBoards??????
 
Im fed up with Lana stans and Charli XCX saying that I glamorize LanaBoards when in reality I'm just a glamorous person posting about the realities of what we are all now seeing are very prevalent emotionally abusive members all over the world.
With all of the topics Lana stans are finally allowed to explore I just want to say over the last ten years I think it's pathetic that my minor thread exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles in my posts has often made people say I’ve set Lana stans back hundreds of years.
Let this be clear, I'm not not a Lana stan -but there has to be a place in stanism for Lana stans who look and act like me - the kind of Lana stan who says no but Allie X stans hear yes- the kind of Lana stans who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves, The kind of Lana stans who get their own stories and voices taken away from them by stronger Lana stans or by Radiohead stans who hate Lana stans.
 
I've been honest and optimistic about the challenging replies I've had.
News flash! That's just how it is for many Lana stans.
And that was sadly my experience up until the point that those posts were made. So I just want to say it's been a long 10 years of bullshit replies up until recently and I've learned a lot from them
but I also feel it really paved the way for other Lana stans to stop
'putting on a happy face' and to just be able to say whatever the hell they wanted to in their posts-
unlike my experience where if I even expressed a note of sadness in my posts, I was deemed literally hysterical as though it was literally the 2012s
Anyways none of this has anything to do about much but I'll be detailing some of my feelings in my next two posts in this thread with the Lipster Categories and How to vote. Yes I'm still making personal reparations with the Lipster Trophies going to their respective members which I'm very happy about. And I'm sure there will be tinges of what I've been pondering in the next Lipsters Awards happening on January 17th.
 
Thanks for reading
Happy quarantining
 

BOOM LIKE THAT LEAK OF THE YEAR

i'm so excited!
i vouch for a lizzy grant stan category 

What a milestone! <3 Super grateful for all of the lovely people I’ve connected with on here and how much fun we’ve all had indulging in the music, poetry, and existence of one of our favourite people! How beautiful is it that we’re all united here by our love for Lana?  thank you so much @Elle for keeping this community alive <3 love you all and here’s to another million posts! 

Since we know Lana will heavily feature the lovely background vocalists on this record, I hope the sonic landscape of the records sounds like this!
 
I can totally hear this sound in Summertime the Gershwin Version and Zach Dawes even posted a picture of a cello to his Instagram stories - he even played it in the live performance of LMLYLAW on Fallon. 
 
If there's any opportunity for Lana to delve more into that '50s/'60s doo-wop sound, it's definitely with this record! I love the downtempo version of this song compared to the album version (although I love that one too) and the slow & sultry moodiness of it all is just so Lana! 
 
 

I’M OBSESSED - so gorgeous  everything from the font, colour palette, and the photos you chose paired with the subtle aged effect - so so so beautiful <3

Thank you so much!!

I don’t collect cassettes but if the concepts you made were real, I’d buy them all without hesitation.
