The Los Angeles Sports Council asked fans to help select the greatest moments in sports for 2008 in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. Through balloting on this web site, votes were cast in 18 different award categories.
As in previous years, three nominated moments per category were provided by each specific team, university or association. Nominations in each category are listed in chronological order. Winners received awards created by Tiffany & Co. for the occasion.
Voting was conducted from December 15 to January 15.
Winners, including the overall "Greatest Moment of the Year," were revealed on Friday, January 23 during a special awards presentation at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The awards show will air several times on PRIME TICKET. Please check your local listings for details.
A blue-ribbon media panel selected and ranked the overall top 10 moments of the year and also selected the Sportsman, Sportswoman, Sports Executive and Coach of the Year.
The concept of a moment is loosely defined. It can be a specific instant in time (such as a winning goal, hit or shot), an individual or team milestone, an upset victory, a remarkable game, a special event or a career achievement. Nominated moments must have taken place in the local area, or have involved a local athlete or team.
