Alternative gardening awards – the poll is now closed.
Celebrate in style after winning an OMG! Award
While I’m a paid up member of the GMG and even sit on its committee, I’ve been thinking for some time that the award categories are, well, a little too conventional. So following the lead set by the NME magazine, when it launched its BRAT awards as a more left field alternative to the BRIT awards, I’d now like to take the wraps off my alternative to the GMG Awards – laydeez and gentlemen…please welcome the The OMG!* Awards 2009.
There’s no place for best book, best magazine or best radio show here, but fellow bloggers and blog readers do get the chance to vote in 10 extremely important categories, such as Best Dressed Gardener, Most Snoggable Male and Mouth Almighty of the Year, in an online contest that has pinched all of its ideas from the legendary Smash Hits Poll Winners Party.
So, if you think Matthew Appleby should pick up Party Mentalist of the Year for attending more press events than anyone else, that Arabella Sock’s silver tabby kitten should claw the prize for Hot New Talent or that James Alexander-Sinclair should win Best Dressed Male for hat wearing beyond the call of duty, then here’s your chance to vote.
Either post your votes below or download the awards entry sheet by clicking HERE (or click on the pic of the champagne bottle) and email it back to me. I’ll post a full list of winners in a glittering awards ceremony (actually, it’ll be inbetween buffing my shoes and filing my nails as I get ready for the GMG awards) on the morning of the 3 December. Remember, your votes really do count, so enter now!
OMG! Awards 2009 – The categories
Most snoggable male
Most fanciable female
Hottest couple
Best dressed gardener
Worst dressed gardener
Hot new talent
Top of the mop award (best haircut)
Funniest person in gardening
Party mentalist of the year
Mouth almighty of the year
*OMG! = Oh my God! in text messaging parlance.
Fantastic! I’m not going first with my nominations though and the kitten from hell is more likely to get party mentalist of the year award.
OK, I’ll get the ball rolling.
Most snoggable male – uuum, Cleve?
Most fanciable female – Dawn at Lil Green Fingers.
Hottest couple – JAS and MarkD for the biscuit blog.
Best dressed gardener – JAS.
Worst dressed gardener – Christine Walkden for THAT appearance on Shooting Stars.
Hot new talent – Arabella Sock’s silver tabby kitten.
Top of the mop award – Ryan’s floppy fringe.
Funniest person in gardening – Marc Rosenberg.
Party mentalist of the year – Matthew Appleby.
Mouth almighty of the year – queen Bulchey herself, Anne Wareham.
Brilliant idea. I shall try to come up with some suitable nominations, though I agree with quite a lot of yours already.
I love alternative awards, this sounds quite amusing. Do the nominees have to be British? And what is a “party mentalist”?
I’ve consulted the rule book and it says the awards are ‘open to anyone, whatever nationality’. Party mentalist 1 someone who is the life and soul of the party 2 Someone who goes to a lot of parties 3 Somebody who can be relied upon to collapse in a heap after imbibing too much at a party
Well for the party mentalist I shall nominate the mysterious Ms B. on the grounds of rule number 3.
Snoggable is obviously Cleve
Fanciable female – If I was a bloke I would fancy Yolanda from Bliss (is that just too creepy on all levels?)
Worst dressed gardener – I’m going against the flow with this one and I’m going to nominate James-AS because we never got to see the new suit and he is usually in the same style of hat. So this nomination is to stop him resting on his debonair laurels.
Mouth almighty of the year – I will go with the obvious Joe Swift here.. very loud
I shall put more thought into the rest
Am I allowed multiple votes?
If I use pseudonyms?
My chief of security is now looking into this.
Most snoggable male – Cleve, though Matthew ‘Darcy’ Wilson also comes close. Cleve’s thighs are the clincher though…
Most fanciable female – er, I’ll leave that one to the fellas to decide
Hottest couple – Emmat and her bump
Best dressed gardener – the national treasure Jekka McVicar – she always looks serene at all the shows
Worst dressed gardener – Bob Flowerdew
Hot new talent – still thinking…
Top of the mop award (best haircut)- Martyn Cox – it’s the hair gel which makes it so outstanding
Funniest person in gardening – Arabella Sock
Party mentalist of the year – still thinking…
Mouth almighty of the year – Lia – especially when talking about human poo
Hot New Talent – 3 Men Went to Mow
Hello, first time here, The Sock sent me. Very excited to hear the outcome of these awards.
Most snoggable male – Cleve (again it was that photo!)
Most fanciable female – Alys Fowler (quirky and I love ginger hair like my hubby)
Hottest couple – agree with the above ~ Mark and James for the Biscuit Blog
Best Dressed gardener – I like James’ hat, so it’s got to be him
Worst dressed garderner – Christine Walker/Monty Don
Hot new talent – 3 men went to mow
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Bob Flowerdew(hahahahaha) NO – Joe Swift
Funniest person in gardening – Joe Swift as seen in 3 men went to mow – little kid

Hot new talent: 3 Men Went to Mow
Hot new talent… the mini white cucumber

Most snoggable male – Definitely Martyn . . . phwoar!
Most fanciable female – Christine Walkden . . . H.O.T.T!
Hottest couple – Has to be Alys and her glasses.
Best dressed gardener – JAS for the hat alone
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Dan Pearson

Party mentalist of the year – Has to be Matthew Appleby. Writes with such intent.
Mouth almighty of the year – Has to be the fabulous Anne Wareham for the post on the Guardian that got Lia in a tiz.
Most snoggable male: Cleve
Most fanciable female: Hmm, bit of a weird one for a girl. So I’ll choose on the basis of who I would quite like to look like – and that’s Lila Das Gupta.
Hottest couple: I’ll go with VP, and say Emma and her bump (awwww…)
Best dressed gardener: JAS
Top of the mop award (best haircut): Alys Fowler.
Funniest person in gardening: Arabella Sock

Most fanciable female Alys fowler
Best dressed gardener for me Toby Buckland
Party mentalist Joe swift
Mouth almighty mmm
Funniest person ooh the Green Monkey
1. Cleve West: natch
2. Dawn Lil Green Fingers, Arabella Sock, Lila Das Gupta, Cleve West
3. 3 Men Went To Mow. Very modern to have three in a relationship.
4. Mark Diacono
5. Arabella Sock as she only ever wears grey cashmere which is distinctly unimaginative and perhaps a bit unhygenic
6. Retrospectively: Martyn Cox for his mullethttp://martyncox.biz/blog/?p=981 Currently: A.Titchmarsh
7. The Garden Monkey will always have the last laugh
8. Stephen Lacey & Ann-Marie Powell
9. It has to be Anne.She would be disappointed if it was not. Joe Swift very close second
Thank you to everyone who has voted so far. There are still eight days to go before the poll closes, so there’s still plenty of time for those who haven’t to vote. And just for the record, the only mullet I ever had was an ironic one, a la Rod Stewart.
OMG to the power ten – how could I forget Garden Monkey? Not only the funniest, but also party mentalist after last year’s midsummer garden party
It’s made me realise how much GM’s missed…
I am still voting for the mullet no matter how “ironic” (oh yeah, of course it was)
Thanks for the nomination VP! It’s not quite most fanciable female, but I’ll take it.
Most snoggable male – i think we must all unite behind Cleve and the thighs
Most fanciable female – Emma T – beauty, brains, and now a bump?! the perfect package
Hottest couple – Nigel Colborn and the PG
Best dressed gardener – Arabella Sock and the hattiewat
Worst dressed gardener – Bob Flowerdew, taking the naturalists’ GQT photo shoot just a couple of inches too far
Hot new talent – new nameless kitty
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Mark Diacono for flagrant bedhair at the heart of the establishment. Way to stick it to The Man! Only got away with it because it was in the same post as Those Thighs.
Funniest person in gardening – Mark Diacono (am I repeating myself?)
Party mentalist of the year – Garden Monkey – just a hunch
Mouth almighty of the year – Got to be Anne
I don’t think it’s fair that James voted me the worst dressed sock as he only did it in retaliation! Also, I am an extremely fragrant sock and have a large wardrobe of slightly varying shades of grey cashmere that I wear for work as opposed to my more colourful party sock wear.
Arabella – I will need pictures of you in party finery in order to change my vote…. with a lot of glitter and maybe some Deely Boppers
Just been slipped twenty quid so most snoggable male gardener Mark Doc
I have just had another marvellous idea. Whilst all and very sundry party on at the Garden Media Awards.. why don’t the rest of us poor bloggers, left out in the cold like the Little Matchstick Girl, have a virtual Flash Party? It would have to be on one of the blogs that has been left unattended whilst the owner joins in the GMG (Awards) and a link could be posted at the last minute to say where the venue is. Anyone up for it?
sounds like a good idea
I think that’s a fab idea. Maybe ask Jane P or Lia if you could hold it on The Guardian site, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.
Martyn
An idea that merits its own platform on this side of the pond – I’m a renegade, though, as in “a not-paid-up-member of the GWA (which used to be GWAA). ((But I did once attend a meeting a few years ago with ‘your lot’ – the GMG – at David Austin roses; don’t recall meeting any vociferous online bloggers.))
That said, how do I vote when I haven’t had the pleasure of checking out the men except for those three who mow? It’s a quandary, seems the voting is tilted in their favor.
Just this morning I discovered Ben, a hoticultural student with a keen sensibility. He gets my hot new talent vote – not as in HOT! .. rather, new talent (Ben’s Garden Blog).
And a pretend gardener – Clive Owen (a dorky role) in Greenfingers… as Helen Mirren’s character says, “I like a bit of rough.”
Most snoggable male- TerrysorryCleve
Most fanciable female -Yolanda’s puppywuppy
Hottest couple- West and Wogan
Best dressed gardener- Beardshaw has the best blouses
Worst dressed gardener – still Sarah Raven
Hot new talent- The Sock’s homegrown chilli.
Top of the mop award (best haircut)-Carol Klein.
Funniest person in gardening- The Sock, of course although she steals my best lines!
Party mentalist of the year ???
Mouth almighty of the year Toby “tickle” Buckland.
I can now add my Top of the Mop Award (best haircut): James (Plasticine) May!
Cleve West
Emma Townshend
Arabella Sock & The Bedsock or Happy Mouffetard and SomeBeans
Joe Swift (for his Panama)
Joe Swift (for his Panama)
Mark Diacono (tepid at the very least)
Alan Titchmarsh
Anne Wareham
Anne Wareham
Anne Wareham
Hmm – that’s a most suspicious looking set of voting there – is your ‘man’ onto it Martyn?
Am definitely up for a ‘Flash’ party if someone can actually tell me what one is. Oops, looks like I’ve come bottom in the Party Mentalist award then. Bummer.
Hi VP, thanks for bringing this to my attention. My head of security has been looking into this and believe it might by a cunning ploy by JAS to rig the result. Investigation work continues, but we will get to the bottom of it.
I’ve also had the dubious pleasure of digging up mammoth bones at Stanton Harcourt whilst within smelling distance of the local rubbish tip…
Apologies to JAS but following the recent discovery of Martyn’s Orange Nordic jumper I have to change my best dressed vote!
Ryan
Haircut: Anne Wareham
Loudest: Anne Wareham
Party mentalist: Nigel Colborn
Snoggable Female:Dawn
Snoggable Male: Bob Flowerdew
Shut down the system, we have a security breach.
Most snoggable male – Am going to have to go for JAS (the man fences for heaven’s sake, it’s enough to make a girl swoon) and Mark Diacano – not so much a hunter gatherer as a forgager and jam maker but v. likely to serve me up a fabulous meal which is always worth a snog
Most fanciable female – I’ve always had a thing for Vita Sackville-West (didn’t see anything in the rules about them having to be alive)
Hottest couple – Lia and Mark for making beautiful music on Twitter
Best dressed gardener – Martyn COx – the man is just so dapper – he also knows how to wear a scarf without looking like Rupert the Bear
Worst dressed gardener – I’m going to have to go for Sarah Raven – although it would be more inappropriately dressed gardener – pearls for veg planting… really?
Hot new talent – Emma T’s bump – you just know it’ll be frighteningly talented so let’s just acknowledge it now
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – has to be Mr Titchmarsh’s luxuriant mop – I think the BBC may have given it its own show
Funniest person in gardening – JAS – thankfully more Peter Ustinov than the Chuckle Brothers
Party mentalist of the year – From the number of parties he appears to attend, I would say Matthew Appleby, but surely he’s too busy in the loos scribbling down all the gossip he’s overheard to actually let his hair down?
Mouth almighty of the year – Has to be Anne – I believe she could very easily get into a heated debate on just about anything – love it!
Most snoggable male – Sorry, I can’t slim my nominations down. I’d like to enjoy a veritable orgy of kissing with Cleve, James, Mr Sturgeon and perhaps Mr Lacey and Joe involved at intervals as a curious surprise.
Most fanciable female – ooooo, i think i’d be rather drawn to sarah raven, or perhaps Ginny Blom if i was that way inclined.
Hottest couple – Cleve and his Cucumber (!!!!!!)
Best dressed gardener – Did you see Andy Sturgeon’s shirts on the Chelsea coverage this year? Got to be the sturge.
Worst dressed gardener – Christine Walkden
Hot new talent – Rachel Warne, garden photographer and game gal extraordinaire
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Carol Klein, constantly cutting edge
Funniest person in gardening – difficult, but Cleve is naughty and hilarious and makes me giggle lots.
Party mentalist of the year – Stephen Lacey is a very bad influence, especially on easily led me.
Mouth almighty of the year – Anne Wareham.
What fun! Thanks Martyn x
Has anybody else noticed that Awards co-ordinator, Martyn Cox’s spiky hairdo is very similar to those sported by X Factor twins Jedward ?
My head of security’s job is on the line. I demand more vigilance – the system must be protected from those with names sounding vaguely like places in Rutlandshire.
OMG, how could I have forgotten the Monkey? Can I have two nominations for funniest person? In fact, make that three and I’ll also add Yolanda from Bliss.
Most snoggable – Matthew Wilson
Most fanciable – not really qualified to judge
Best dressed – J A-S and his hat
Worst dressed – Sarah Raven
Hottest couple – The doppelgangers, Cleve Wogan and Terry West
Hot new talent – The Sock Kitten
Best haircut – James May – could also fit into Most Snoggable
Funniest garden person – Arabella Sock
Mouth Almighty – Anne Wareham, of course
Security have now been told to look out for any other nominators going under thinly disguised place names. If you’re Les Ter, Summer Coates, Norton Disney, Rufus Stone, Kim Bolton or Lonnie Don, you ain’t getting in.
Most snoggable male: ooh, er the 3 Men Went to Mow. Not at the same time, you understand …
Most fanciable female: It’s a dead heat between all the “L”s – Lila Das Gupta, Lia Leendertz and Laetitia Maklouf

Hmmm. I have put on my thinking cap and come up with the following nominations please:
1 – Most snoggable male – all of the Three men who went to mow. yes I am greedy.
2 – Most fanciable female – Arabella Sock – a sense of humour always wins!
3 – Hottest couple – JAS and Sabrina Duncan International, as per Malvern spring this year
4 – Best dressed gardener – Sarah Raven – completely impractical but eclectic. or Alys Fowler for the same reasons.
5 – Worst dressed gardener – Bob Flowerdew.
6 – Hot new talent – the Socks kitten (does he have a name yet?)
7 – Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Carol Klein – spiky niceness
8 – Funniest person in gardening – HAS to be GM, doesn’t it???
9 – Party mentalist of the year – Carol Klein (she was a bit tipsy at Malvern and went on about some red shoes…)
10 – Mouth almighty of the year – sorry Anne – it has to be you given the hoopla that went on recently, (or I suppose I could vote for myself given the rants I’ve had this year?)
Oh, and surely top of the mop award has to go to guerilla gardener Richard Reynolds?
Most snoggable male – Darcy Wilson obv!
Most fanciable female – Alys Fowler equally obv!
Hottest couple – Joe Swift and Jan Leeming
Best dressed gardener – Alys Fowler
Worst dressed gardener (ish) – James May – that hippy tramp chic is just rubbish
Hot new talent – Michelle Wheeler
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Jedward – they will be doing a garden at Chelsea next year
Funniest person in gardening – Anne Wareham
Party mentalist of the year – Ken Smart
Mouth almighty of the year – Ryan – doesn’t he ever shut up?
Most snoggable male: James A Sinclair because he might be able to get me a garden design job if I do.
Most fanciable female: Michelle Wheeler (aka GardenerGirl1)for adding some glamour to the twitter profile pics.
Hottest couple: Mark Diacono and Anne Wareham- a match made in heaven.
Best dressed gardener: Martyn Cox for that jumper.
Worst dressed gardener: Bob Flowerdew and his nudity.
Hot new talent: Me in 1 1/2 years time when I finish my course (need to start early with the self-promotion!)
Top of the mop award (best haircut): Ryan (aka Ryan’s Garden) because I’ve only seen the back of his head and I’m jealous of this category seeing that nature has made my hairstyle choice for me. (Would like to add this category is a bit baldest!)
Funniest person in gardening: Mark Diacono although some of his jokes tonight on Twitter were terrible- sorry!
Party mentalist of the year: Without doubt GardenMonkey who’s real name remains a mystery.
Mouth almighty of the year: Not wanting to go with the popular choice but I have to say Anne Wareham.
Well my first attempt was either censored (or is that I was censured) only because the love that I have for Sarah R. is all that I have. I realise that it was a little extreme voting for the delightful Ms. R in all categories. (particularly “snoggable male”)
So a second attempt.
Most snoggable male – I haven’t got a clue so I’ll throw a random great into the mix : Fergus Garrett
Most fanciable female – Need I say any more: Ms R
Hottest couple – I perceive a friction between Anne W & Mark D. Friction causes heat – q.e.d.
Best dressed gardener – John Cushnie (he looks very smart on a Robert’s radio).
Worst dressed gardener – John Cushnie (after a Trinny & Susannah makeover)http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01240/pbunny1_1240795a.jpg
Hot new talent – Luciano Guibbilei
Top of the mop award – JAS – (for keeping it under his hat).
Funniest person in gardening – Mark D is funnny but he’s not really a gardener (I thought he was a farmer) so for dry laconic wit it must be the man with the hat – JAS.
Party mentalist of the year – Guinness (Bunny).
Mouth almighty of the year – Anne (Gwenhwyfar)Wareham.
Can I vote for myself? If so definitely for Best Haircut – I can outdo Joe Swift in that department anyday.Will think about the other categories – altthough I love him JAS is getting too many votes for my liking – although he did let me flog my books at my Chelsea lecture so perhaps he is the most snoggable. Love Chris B’s shirts so I think he’s the best dressed – he said mine was nice too. When did Matt Appleby wear shorts? Sarah Raven would come high on my list for most fanciable female and best dressed. However reading this Blog I can’t wait to meet Ann-Marie Powell
Hold on I just need to consult the rule book. Now where did I put it. Ah, here we are, Rule No.15, part b – I quote ‘A nominator can vote for him/herself if it gives the reader comidic pleasure’.
mind made up now on hottest couple, Green Monkey and Mark Doc for their you tube knowledge on music.
Top mop Bob Flowerdew, it is my aim to touch it at Sparsholt.
Hot new talent James Todman for his blog and photo
Martyn – I can’t believe that you’ve been likened to the Jedward twins – I know you are really Gareth Gates and I think your skating is fantastic!
OMG! This is like a giant “Lovey” love in! Who on earth are all these people. I think you guys all need a dose of the real gardening world. You know – those of us that actually get out from behind their computers and meet the public!
Most snoggable male
Roy Lancaster – Oh those eyes!
Most fanciable female
Can I vote for myself?
Hottest couple
Matthew Appleby and his blog- he’s such a honey!
Best dressed gardener
Andy McIndoe hands down, does anyone know what delights he has lined up for us at the GMG awards?
Worst dressed gardener
Alan Titchmarsh – you just can’t keep recycling those 1980s suits Alan!
Hot new talent
Jedward, they’d clean up in the TV gardening world but perhaps they are already earmarked for the Director General vacancy???
Or perhaps James May???
Top of the mop award (best haircut)
Bob “the fern man” Hollister (Country Garden Plant Sales)as his moustache is a total style icon.
Funniest person in gardening
Matthew again – his blog is our lifeblood. Keep on saying it as it is – we can’t always comment but we LOVE IT none the less!
Party Mentalist of the year – I have a sneaking suspicion that Vince Catt (Liss Forest Nurseries)should be put into the running here!
Still thinking about the others…
Can we have a category for gorgeous smelling? – if so Jason Bloom wins hands down – fabulous aftershave – yum!
BB xx
Here are the votes from the Malvern jury
Most snoggable male – Matthew Wilson or Tom Stuart-Smith

Hottest couple – Joe Swift and his neighbouring allotment holder
Best dressed gardener – JAS

Matt, thanks for voting for yourself, although there really wasn’t any need – barring a miracle, the Party Mentalist of the Year Award is already yours. Sadly I’m sans beard, although I am trying to grow an ironic moustache – think drummer from Killers, Nick Cave, My Name is Earl
Having been active in all the wrong circles up until about a month ago I don’t have the banks of names that some people do. Dawn has tested the water and got away with a dead nominee so in that line I present my fictional, deceased and inanimate nominees for the OMG awards.
Most snoggable male: Mellors from Lady Chatterley’s Lover. All earth-wormy and pheremonal and rough.
Most fanciable female: The Queen of hearts from Alice in Wonderland, a powerful woman who knows how to get what she wants in the garden (red roses). Fanciable in the Thatcher line.
Hottest couple: John Tradescant the Elder and John Tradescant the younger. Because I’ve just been to the Museum of Garden History.
Best dressed gardener: Corporal Trim From Tristram Shandy. Because Uncle Toby would sometimes make him wear full battle dress while they build replica earth fortresses on the bowling green
Worst dressed gardener: Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings, because he went off to climb a mountain without putting his shoes on
Hot new talent: I predict big for ponds in 2010, I see them getting deeper, wetter and much more in-yer-face.
Top of the mop award (best haircut): Smokey the Bearded Gardener, from my as yet unreleased radio play, much ado about puffins.
Funniest person in gardening. HoHo the Funny Gardener, from my etc. ect.
Party mentalist of the year: Queen of Hearts
Mouth almighty of the year QoH
I wouldn’t worry about the nominees being dead, Ben. The mini-white cucumber is up for a posthumous award and most of the others are the undead.
Looks like we need an emergency award category for the most commented on blog post
Lets have the Flash Party here next week to help things along a bit…
Are you sure I won’t return to find graffiti on the walls, the carpets soaked in beer and the hamster missing?
No – but I can’t vouch for the state of the place afterwards of where you’re going next week!
We might even leave your Aeoniums alone, though you might have to ask Arabella separately to promise she won’t touch them.
