I'm not saying that the prizes have equal merit. I'm saying that they're both similarly famous prizes that are judged as prestigious even though the award process isn't based on peer review.
- briandear 8y agoThe Oscars are absolutely based on peer review. You have to be a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and you have to be a member within the category of the award being voted upon, except for Best Picture for which all members can vote. Sound Editing is voted on by Sound Editor members. There is more peer review in terms of number of peers at the Academy than your average Nature article.
