Comments: In 1986, for the first time, the Mythopoeic Award for Scholarship in Inklings Studies reported a full slate of nominees to the public, and not merely the winning entry. This was the first time this had happened, and the last time it would happen until the early 1990s, as the Mythopoeic Society seems to have recovered from whatever malady made them think that observers appreciated additional information about the process that led to particular works winning their awards. The recovery was short-lived, however, and when the Mythopoeic Awards were completely overhauled in 1991, the non-winning nominees would be listed for all categories.
