I think you over-emphasize the silliness aspect here. If these awards
are instigated, you cannot avoid them being coveted and taken seriously.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, might well be a very good thing, but
always remember that when you give awards to some, you disappoint
others, no matter how hard you try to make things light.
