The foundation offered excuses but this feels like it's all on them, especially with documented evidence of post-hoc rule tweaking.
To me this is one more confirmation that awards are basically all industry self-congratulation and politics... Hugo and Nebula, Grammys, etc. etc.

However, as noted in the article, imitation cheeses using vegan ingredients were and are specifically permitted by the rules: > Subcategories Additionally, cheese entries must fit within one of the following subcategories (vegetarian and/or vegan substitutes are permitted): https://goodfoodfdn.org/awards/categories/cheese/ https://goodfoodfdn.org/awards/categories/cheese/

- tomcam 3y agoThey are not just self-congratulatory and political. They are also robust moneymakers for the awards shows themselves. Local Emmys are pretty much all pay to play IMHO.
