these awards are just another form of popularity contest

Pretty much what they are guaranteed to be. If people are looking to things like this to uncover hidden gems, then they are looking in the wrong place. Something like a critic's awards would be better (or something like the jury selections from the reddit awards).

Your idea of modifying the default behavior of STAR is interesting. I don't think I will have time to whip that together before the end of this awards campaign, but it is something you could kind of simulate by replacing the scores of all the blanks as the average of the non-blanks. That moves any blank responses closer to the k value in your examples.

I plan on releasing all the votes and the code I used to analyze them in a github repo so people can use their own tools to visualize or analyze the votes as they see fit (at least for anime + manga; ln's are a bit trickier due to the low number of responses). So, we could essentially re-run the votes using alternate systems to see how things may or may not have changed.

For the sake of this awards season, I am just going to count blanks as a 0 since that is the default STAR behavior and what is implemented in the library I am using.
