"...posturing and manipulation are the only things you need to be good at to succeed..."
hear hear!!... you just took the words from my fingertips...
... in the end... it's business.
When you think about it - the Oscars aren't public opinion - they're 'the academy' (aka... peers in the Industry) who give out the awards... just like Grammy's.... and ... oh shit!! Don't get me started on Journalism!!! Wheee!! Yay!! A pulitzer must mean the writer is very gifted...
... at least... in the eyes of 'his/her' peers... but not the 'general public'...
... which is where we all reside as designers... we solve 'visual problems'... what we 'do' isn't exactly ground-breaking... except to our peers (and ourselves)...
... to quote Dirty Harry:
"You're a legend in your own mind."
