Any insight about how the selections are made? Is it like the Oscars
[expensive campaigns/bribe the judges] or something else? Could be the
market is such it discourages the necessary promotion for reduced returns.
Besides, the whole exercise is kind of silly, isn't it? Turnip of the
Year! [Oops... sacrilege.]
