Controversies

The award ceremony was very controversial. Unlike previous similar awards, very limited number of guests were invited in the ceremony. Out of the 323 invitations were sent a lot of invitees didn’t attend the ceremony.

It was surprising that the jury that selected the award wasn’t present at the ceremony.
