The Golden Skateboards Award was launched in 2010, from the brainchild of a mightily bored 16 year old teenager who had nothing to do during his holidays. This award honours (in some cases, dishonours) those who have accomplished great things in the past year. Each winner gets to take home a, yep, you guessed it, a golden skateboard, as shown below
The skateboard is also known as 'Skatie' among the winners. Each year, five candidates are chosen for each category, and the public must vote for who they think deserves the award the most. As previously mentioned, this award may or may not be a good thing for the winners
Right, let's move on to the categories, candidates and winners
Football Referee of the Year
Candidates
Howard Webb
Martin Atkinson
Subkhiddin Salleh
Ben Williams
That guy in orange

Ben Williams - by a huge landslide. Though he was probably voted by sarcastic Malaysian fans, since about 99.99% of his votes came from Malaysia
Couple of the Year
Candidates
Aniq & Farahin
Hisan & Shira
Nadzirah & Amalina
Amir & FIFA 10 PC
Kana & Nikhil
Winner
Kana & Nikhil - by, well, everyone. A perfect couple, mischiefs coming from those two, who could possibly deserve this award more than them?
Team of the Year
Candidates
Manchester United
Pittsburgh Steelers
Yokohama F. Marinos
Niners FC
Felda United
Winner
Niners FC - who, despite being underprepared, short-handed and lacking in match fitness, this team still managed to play well in the two matches they competed in, though the less said about the amount of goals they conceded, the better

4 ABK
4 MUZ
4 ALAU
4 HISH
Archie Andrews' class

Player of the Year
Candidates
Hafizh
Cakip
