Okay. Is there any, and I mean ANY fucking award out there that isn't compromised out the ass, or isn't just tokenism?
Hugo? Nope
Academy Award? Nope
Oscar? Nope
The Nobel fucking peace prize? Nope
Pulitzer? Nope
Grammy? Nope.
Presidential medal of freedom? Nope
The only one I can think of is the fucking MTV teen choice award because it appears that normal people's votes actually matter, and it isn't being rigged behind the scenes. But even then, it very easily could be.
The Nebula is voted on by SF writers (members of the Science Fiction Writers of America) and from what I’ve heard through friends is probably even more compromised than the Hugo awards.
inhales deeply, sighs heavily

Nebula (maybe) or the razzie maybe?
