I believe it would demean Nobel Prizes if they were awarded to research students, except in very exceptional cases.
So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.
It's just kinda irritating to me that we're awarding people in mixed martial arts for trying to move away and not finish the fight.
It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be Scandinavian or not.
When you look at not just for Sixth Man but also for any award in the NBA even when it comes to the MVP, you should look at their impact to their team.
I don't want to see people decorating a house or digging a garden. As for guys like Jonathan Ross, he got an award there last Christmas. What for? He doesn't sing, dance or tell jokes, does he?
An award should be earned based on an actor's ability and not be just given as a present.
You become a great composer when you win a Pulitzer. But I think that now it's a completely meaningless award.
The Booker Prize is a big, popular prize for big, popular books, and that's the way it should be.
Winning titles plays a big role in the Ballon d'Or race.
My opinion is there should NOT be an MVP award [in hockey]. The Olympic teams sports shouldn't acknowledge individuality. And if there is going to be such an award a player on the losing team who lets in the losing goal shouldn't get it.
People aren't quite sure what it means when a book is a Booker Prize winner. They're not quite sure what is being recommended, what literary values it stands for, because every year it stands for something different.
One major should not get you into the Hall of Fame - maybe one major and 40 wins. I'm not gonna pick a guy with one major and 11 wins.
You have to give the Ballon d'Or to the best player in the world at that time. Any differences between what the players are like as individuals should not affect who is chosen for a personal award.
