You also have to understand that many users are probably somewhat hesitant about nominating articles, particularly if they're one of their own. Opening the doorway to examination can potentially also open it to criticism, which unless they are looking for it, some folks tend to not fully appreciate.

This can happen even more so when things seem more "official" like (ala, the Wiki Awards). Not saying this is the case right now, but it might be a factor.
