?? My man. Would you not want the recognition for your work that you deserve?
Yes, that’s a good way to put it. He basically thinks he deserves an award, and the many people who vote for them do not. They could be wrong, they could be biased, there could have been a lot of performances that just barely surpassed him that year, etc etc. But he’s not entitled to an award, no one is! And again, I would argue he has been recognized for his work in many ways.
If you disagree, that’s fine, but you shouldn’t use straw-man arguments. I had several points in my comment and “he shouldn’t want to be recognized” was not one of them.
Nothing in this article suggests he thinks he deserved the award. What he thinks he deserved was to have his work showcased so that he could be considered, and that’s entirely reasonable.
He’s saying that excessive editing has dulled down his work. That’s his complaint.
