The awards became known for being given to films that have yet to be released and for a lack of transparency in the selection process. [5] [6] [7] The Los Angeles Times stated, "the selection process could be charitably described as 'vague,' with the primary criteria being the winners' promise to attend the ceremony." [5] It has been discontinued since 2019.
