It''s sort of like a people's choice award. Whether or not anyone believes me this kind of thing probably makes a girl feel good. I know I would be happy. Hell most girls would be. I think it's a good idea. So to trash the awards and screw them up for the girls is deeply selfish.
*fist bump*
I've always liked Peoples Choice typed awards that go by votes of the general public, rather than awards set by specific groups of people and decided only among those groups. Great examples would be the Oscars and the Emmys. Yes a lot of great artists and pieces get awards and recognition, but at the same time a lot of artists and works the general public really likes often get snubbed. With TV I've compared online polls, social media follows, and Peoples Choice type awards and compared them to the Emmy's and other industry-based awards in the US and a lot of the time it doesn't always line up well. Programming on the CW gets snubbed
a lot even though millions of people watch these shows and love them. A lot of effort goes into CW shows as well even if they don't have the budgets of HBO, premium cable, and ABC to do incredibly intricate things or hire rosters of A-list celebs to make up the cast. The Flash, Arrow, Supernatural, the 100, the Vampire Diaries, among others get millions of viewers and have very solid vocal fanbases as well as a lot of work gone into their production yet if you look at the Emmys and other awards shows they're overlooked completely. I'm honestly baffled that Supernatural has been on American TV for over a decade still producing new seasons and new material and despite
winning numerous Peoples Choice Awards for various things and other awards voted in by general populations it has yet to be acknowledged by the Emmys and other such industry awards giants. And I have enough connections and intel in the US movie business and know people in the Academy where I know full well how rigged the Oscars are. Golden Globes are a bit more open but they're not as a prestigious as an Oscar. I was genuinely shocked DiCaprio finally won an Oscar this past Awards ceremony, as the amount of times he'd been snubbed had reached levels where it'd become sources for comedic material. If the Oscars look like it's the same group of people patting themselves on the back and not weighed on actual merit of the works it's because, well, that's what it is.
This kind of thing really should be more Peoples Choice and results decided by honest input by separate individuals. And not like, well, the Oscars. Merit should decide value and 'worthiness' just as much if not more than the opinions of specific people. As it does make the girls feel good and like they're doing something right that people like. It's good encouragement, especially if you are interested in upholding quality and standards in the businesses and feel there should be things aspired to by the workers. More so than "oh you made a lot of money in X amount of time - go you!" as earnings really aren't the be all end all basis to judge the quality of work. Terrible movies rake in millions of dollars because of how they're marketed gets people to pay for it, but they're still objectively bad movies not deserving of awards
like 'The Last Airbender' made millions in global box office but just look at 90% of the reviews for it. It's terrible and rightly harpooned. The fact it did gross millions and made back more than what was invested in production had no effect on how the public felt about it and critics as well. If you take your work seriously, regardless of what it is, and work hard with aspirations of providing quality work that's well received one should have the potential to be rewarded for it in some way and get recognition.
