The differences between the Nobel Prizes and entertainment awards can be seen as unfortunate, but it is also a byproduct of the entertainment industry awards being broadcast on the very medium people who enjoy television like. The actors and actresses in entertainment awards are bound to a public image. A random person asked on the street would probably know who the most prominent actors are. This can also come with disadvantages however. Being famous means you may get swarmed with people running a simple errand. My guess is that most Nobel Prize winners appreciate the recognition they receive because it comes from the authority they report to and don’t need the extra recognition of a TV broadcast. They appreciate their award because their achievements are what count. The only reason entertainment awards are broadcast is because the corporations in charge of them can profit off of them. Media attention is overrated and self-confidence is a better substitute. I’m sure Nobel Prize winners possess that plentifully.
