They really aren't two different things, though. All manner of industries give out awards both to honor excellence AND to create outside interest in the product the industry is selling. The Oscars are a wonderful way of acknowledging incredible work AND a way to get people to go to the movies or subscribe to a streaming platform in order to watch all of the nominees before they join the office pool and then watch the television broadcast, which the industry is very open about regarding as a giant commercial for movies as a whole.
Many of us like to believe that awards exist entirely for their own beneficence, but that's naive. |
