>>119461602well, that's at least two strikes right there, you god damn faggot.
Critics are shit people, with shit taste, who do nothing but shit all over people who actually make stuff because they are personally incapable of creating anything.
Most awards are done by either critics, or the people who were such god damn failures as critics they couldn't get people to listen to them without handing out a prize for showing up to the event.
For example, one of the highest awards in canadian lit went to a novel about a woman who fucked a bear. That's right, you can literally win awards for badly disguised furry porn.
Awards mean nothing except that you probably want to stay away, and praise by critics means it's probably complete shit and to stay away as well.
