Mostly what I'm hearing from the naysayers is "you kids get off my lawn!"
That "Your Daddy's Scifi doesn't win awards anymore" is 1) painfully obvious; and 2) not remotely a bad thing in my opinion. Your Daddy's Scifi is still being written. Buy it, read it, love it. Just don't make the mistake of thinking all the stuff you like reading deserves an award. And don't be an ass and pout because something you don't care for DID win an award. It will be OK. The secret evil cabals running the various awards aren't murdering your favorite authors and destroying their works in progress. They're just picking other books to give awards to.
