Oprah counts all these women among her personal friends and mentors. Hardly the social circle of someone who is incapable of understanding anything other than lowbrow.
Those awards are all political, just like the Oscars, and others. Crap is crap, no matter how many awards they throw at it.

Hey, it's only my opinion.
