I get what you’re saying, but at the same time I think it was interesting to leave the question open-ended and see how people interpreted the criteria. Plus, it can spark debate as people begin to question why certain works were nominated. But I do agree that when listing specific picks it’s helpful to explain why you think the work has merit beyond simple entertainment. Not that there’s anything wrong with works that simply aim to entertain, but I was interested in hearing what works traditionally classified as “low-brow” may actually be more high-brow than we’d usually give them credit for.

And thanks for the compliment!
