Awards Season...

[Garaman]

...would you rather; win an award most people think you shouldn't have won, or not win an award most people think you should have won?

[aelmpvw]

if most think you shouldn't have won an award you probably haven't

[woofgang]

definitely not win an award people think I should have won

[yogi-bear]

It's always nice and compliments your craft and hard work, to be recognised to win an award for a performance that you're tipped to do well in, and expected to take the top prize, due to an outstanding turn.
I rather have that then win for a performance the audience and critics alike think maybe I shouldn't have won.

Start at the top baby
Nobel - Montagnier and Gallo shared the credit for HIV ( clearly they didnt have it) - gallo stole montagniers sample and passed it off as his own. (DNA sequences too similar)

only scientific disput to be settled by .... treaty

and remember quasars - first described as LGM ( little green men) by Jocelyn Bell Burnet

and her thesis supervisor got the Nobel Prize and not her. [Hewish and Ryle] Fred Hoyle apparently scrowed his own chance of a Nobel by criticising and ridiculing the cttee's decision

- Joss as a committed christian forgave her seniors ( jesus you would have to be christian to do that) - and said
" all in all I havent had a bad career as the woman who ought to have got the Nobel Prize!"

wow - an example to us all
