At the same time as major media outlets began noting Whedonesque.com as a source, it also received more recognitions, including "The Times" Online's Blog of the Week, awarded to Whedonesque on March 4, 2006. "The Times" review stated that "All the latest news items, rumours and sightings concerning the one-time wonder boy and the creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are logged daily by the kind of people who appreciate smart, sophisticated dialogue and plotting." Whedonesque won SyFy Portal's Genre Award for Best Web Site of 2006, and was nominated for same award in 2007, 2008 and 2009. "Entertainment Weekly" selected Whedonesque as one of the 100 Greatest Websites on December 20, 2007. In May 2008, EW selected Whedonesque as eighth on their list of 25 Essential Fansites, calling it "a reservoir of material about anyone who's starred in (or, it would seem, breathed near) his nerd-magnet projects: Buffy, Angel, and Firefly/Serenity."
