important to understand that the media pulls these self-congratulatory stunts as a cope for trump having made them totally irrelevant https://twitter.com/alexweprin/status/1329867647794761729
every media awards ceremony for the past 4 years has been the elite equivalent of some girl's friends telling her how beautiful she is after getting dumped at prom
