In Reply to: Awards are meaningless - I also don't care about Chinese menu... posted by Eldragon on May 2, 2015 at 12:59:44:
Think of all the great movies that didn't win a major Oscar.
Of all the (mostly forgotten) literary hacks who did win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Of all the artisanal hi-fi that doesn't even get a glance from self-important critics and that would never make the cover of any hi-fi rag, let alone win a coveted acrylic award purchased from Staples.
Awards? Phooey!
