This is an award for blogs and what sites did watts beat to win
Joe.My.God.,
Mommy Wants Vodka
The Pioneer Woman
The Dish
For some reason watts thinks crowing about winning this award gives him some credibility, when an actual science qualification would give his more credibility. He also spent years running down peer review, yet also tried to crow when he got a paper published in a minor journal, but oddly makes no mention of the citation rate of that paper, I wonder why.
Deniers have created so many blogs I'm surprised more have not one bloggies, personally I could not think of anything more boring than wasting my time voting for such nonsense, but I guess deniers have a lot of free time. But then the AGW is based on science and real sites run by science groups, there a few blogs, while almost all of denial case is based on blogs (all 170+ versions of the stories they spin)
Today kano is back to peddling "it's the Sun" tomorrow it will be volcanoes then cosmic rays, then Al Gore, then communists, then green tech, then Governments, then scientists, then the rather obscure 'natural cycles' before we return to the "it's not happening at all" tale.
Which leaves out other denier favorites like "we are just recovering from the LIA" or "we are about to go into a new iceage" or "we have cooled since 1998 (or 17 years and 6 months which kano claims) which doesn't quite add up as 1998, but heh nobody said deniers where good at math.
Over times watts has pushed most of these theories.
I don't know what Wiki you looked at. The article I found claimed three Bloggies for best science blog and best overall blog in 2013. These award are also mentioned on his page.
I don't think the Bloggies count as "right wing puffery."
According to Wikipedia, weather reporter Watts and his website have not won any science awards.
Of course, it is true than anyone can write and edit Wikipedia articles, and it cannot be 100% ruled out that the entire Wikipedia operation has been infiltrated and is controlled, through 5th dimension holography, by Liberal Democrat Greenie Alarmist Babylonian Reptilians from the Hollow Moon.

Watts receives more hits on the internet than any other science blog, which is why it is so much hated by warmers and alarmists, because it cuts through their B.S. and propaganda, it makes it very difficult for them to mislead the public.
I think you forgot one. I believe WUWT won the 2009 Big Oily for "Blog most likely to preserve fossil fuel profits".
And although I don't have any hard evidence, I think Exxon funded the Big Oilys for $345.23 in 1985.

Edit: BTW, WUWT is in the Bloggies Hall of Fame. And they say my questions are an epic fail!
Do you something more impressive, other then agreeing with your constituents? What the hell ever happen to original thought? It seems the only diet Dim Libs have are government rations.
I don't put much stock in awards. Hillary was given an award for her handling Benghazi. Al Gore Was given a Nobel Prize. President Obama was given a Nobel Prize.
So what is your point?
ROFL... Leave it to an alarmist to look at a 2007 article and not do any further research.
Lol.. and the alarmist thought Wired. com was wikipedia. OUCH!!!!!
Popularity does not make it good science
A climate skeptic here made the claim that Anthony Watts website, Watts Up With That has "won several awards for best science blog." However, according to wikipedia, WUWT has won two awards, one from the conservative-leaning newspaper The Times and a second from the Weblog Awards (which when it existed was described as the right-wing's response to the Bloggies).

Do these awards mean anything or are they examples of typical epistemic-bubble right-wing puffery, and used in the same way that a paper published in Energy and Environment would be?
Why would a climate skeptic claim that "several" awards had been won when there are in fact only two? Can we add counting to the list of technical skills climate skeptics have yet to master?
