Almost all award shows/events are.
They have always been.
I know CR awards are whatever and unimportant, but...
Best film and best original I don't really get.
I know Demon Slayer was really succesful in terms of numbers, but Chainsaw Man Reze Arc was much more highly praised.
But Lazarus I find most baffling, especially when Apocalypse Hotel is right there. I barely heard anything about it, other than that it was kind of average. It sits at 70% score on AL and 7.19 on MAL... Not really award worthy.
They really need to get away from just popularity voting if they want to be taken somewhat seriously.
The only shows I did not drop from this list were "Fragrant Flower", "SpyXFamily" and "Solo Leveling". DanDaDan's first season was great, the second a mess.
Have I seen too much over the past years?
First year in a while that the winners feel well-picked.
At least it's not just one title winning almost every category lol
