Have you read some of the winners? I'm not a voter and I read it way before the hugo and nebula, but last years book for example is very good. Not only has it an interesting main character, an interesting world but also the playing with our gender concepts was very interesting (and in no way academic or preachy or even overly feminist).
I don't get what you have with your hunger games. With the exception of eschwartz nearly everybody here did like it. But that does not mean everyone also thinks it deserves a price. And that not everytime the books win the price that I or you think deserve the win does not automatically hint to a flaw with the price but that people have different tastes.
Last, if you ask such a question, here my question: which off the winners do you think do not deserve it and why? Not in the way so you think there was a better book that year, but which is by itself unworthy in your oppinion.
