| There are, I think, awards that have no commercial angle. As an example, I think one would be hard pressed to find a commercial connection in the awarding of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. But the Tonys would not have been on CBS for the last x years without the League and its members footing the bill. And in the absence of that, the Tony awards would not have the stature that they do. (There would be no EGOTs, just EGOs. :-) ) Compare, for example, the Bessie Awards. | |

| I broadly agree, in that we have awards that lie outside of these industries or aren't awarded by the commercial heads of those industries. Though the Pulitzer Prize for Drama is an offshoot of an industry award that does exists to push the work of journalists and newspapers... and that seems all the more important in this day and age. | |

| I would distinguish it because the award does not even indirectly push the work of journalism, and of course journalism does not have any economic interest in which work gets the award. But we disgress :-) | |
