That means it's a popularity contest. Not everyone visits sites like MAL, most people that read mangas or watch animes only know about the things everyone and their mother read/watch. I live here in France so I'm not surprised at these results, though I didn't know that there were that many people who like DMC. I don't care about the anime/manga distribution in France anyway. x)

Vampire Knight as Best Shoujo bothers me...
I agree. It's a shame Ai Yazawa's sick at the moment too. :(
I think the Best Shoujo category imploded on itself, no wai should Vampire Knight have won that <.<

Edit: I wonder if the titles licensed in France is limited.
Actually, I've noticed a number of impressive titles not available in US that are out in France. I don't think that's it.

Best Shojo: Vampire Knight
What? Possibly one of the worst shoujo I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Nice to see DMC up there though. Can't say as I agree with any of the other choices.
