Ah, they want us to register, do they? Smacks to me of trying to keep track of and monitor figure skating fandom.
That's not necessarily bad on their part, depending on how they use the information they compile. Frankly, I wish TPTB would spend more time and attention on figuring out how to bring the sport fully into the 21st century in ways that benefit the athletes and the sport's growth! This awards show is honestly not one of those ways. It's a fun diversion.

Re choreographer category, I'd have to go with either Raf or Moskvina, tilting more toward Moskvina simply because of her age, her legendary status, and her badass coaching career, as well as her over-sized personality contained in such a small package! She's a small package of delightful dynamite!
In the choreographer category, all nominees are great, except for Danny G who belongs nowhere near this category. There's simply NO excuse. Benoit Richaud, Pasquale Camerlengo, Christopher Dean, Julie Marcotte, Jeff Buttle, Rohene Ward, David Wilson, Massimo Scali, Stephane Lambiel and even Cindy Stuart, Renee Roca, Yuka Sato, and Sarah Kawahara belong in the category before someone like wannabe Danny G.
Even Charlie White, AdaRipp, Jeremy Abbott, Alexander Johnson, and Guillaume Cizeron are more skilled and creative in their current budding great choreographer status.
The only positive I am looking forward to is the better production of the final exhibition after Worlds which may attract more viewership.
