Awards becoming meaningless?

[Zauriel]

I somewhat recall there was talk or debate about Academy Awards also known as oscars becoming meaningless in the TV/Film forum.

I wonder if the same can be said about other awards like Nobel Prizes, JFK Profile in Courage Award or the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Recently, it has been announced Mitt Romney will receive the JFK Profile in Courage Award

I agree that Romney deserves the award but so do the governors whose tough response to the pandemic is so unpopular they are in danger of being recalled.

the Presidential Medal of Freedom isn't worth anything since it was awarded to undeserving people like Rush Limbaugh or Tiger Woods. it was also given to other athletes and entertainers.
