Harry-your digging yourself a grave and everyone has provided counter agruments to your points about who should or shouldn't have won. How about next year YOU make a costume and if people like it they will vote on it. If it is a good costume it will get a good score. If not, it wont. This is how all voting has been done. Its based on people opinions, and you are able to vote for who you want. And if a costume wasnt rated highly and was voted on by 100's of people, then obviously it isnt deserving of an award. We are all fair people here and if you disagree, no one is keeping you here on AP to continue to post and argue with members of the community.
I suggest that you take time instead of complaining about Gumby not winning, and congradulate those who did, because they, as well, put their time and effort into their costume.
And your right, the judges are completely bias and only choose what they like based on the genre...[/sarcasm].
Get over it Harry.
