Awards shows in general are like the google search engine
- who ever pays / hosts lavish parties the most gets to be on top of the world
Quite pathetic really but thats Hollyweird

I'm not missing the point, I know how it goes. I agree with you, it's a popularity contest. And most award shows in general are overrated. I was just saying the Hollywood overlords would not have let a comic book movie take an acting award had he not died. I think a lot of the elite over there hate how much money comic book movies make, but they see it's a cash cow so they go for the ride just to make bank. I think they'd rather be cranking out crappy run of the mill romantic comedies starring Kate Hudson or Katherine Heigl because those don't cost so much to make.
