    Yup, very often the “winner” is determined because it’s their “turn” or they deserve it more so than what they did that actual year. Leonardo Di Capero (SP?) for a great example.

      I also propose Jaime Lee Curtis last year, definitely felt more like a lifetime achievement oscar than that particular role

        And kids in high school will tell you they voted for the person the would make the best class president…

        Of course somehow that always seems to be the most popular person… Hmmm
