Well, I guess awards shortlists that primarily recognize the "good craft" of authors who most people are already well aware of (because of their good craft) are of little use to me then. *shrug*

I don't need them to promote unknowns, I only need them to promote authors who are unknown to me.

I guess I don't understand the need for awards to highlight what people are reading and enjoying. Surely that knowledge is already known?
