As Keller said, it's a big hit with the kind of demographic who traditionally vote for these types of things. Also I imagine for a large bulk of that audience it's the only soap they watch.

Or it could just be that it's the most popular. Funny how these threads don't pop up when Corrie wins best soap at any given awards show.

It's simple logistics, really. More people vote for it in the categories that they win. Voila!

I am guessing but I suppose it must be that there are millions of people who like and enjoy something that insults their intelligence.

If you have stopped watching it then you can't comment on its current quality. |

Given your username your opinion of EE is hardly surprising.

What I don't get is why so many people take so much store by these awards, What do these awards actually represent? Nothing, all they are is an excuse for the actors to put on their gladrags and gone on a bit of a bender. The awards themselves are pointless. If Hollyjokes won best soap I wouldn't then suddenly start watching Hollyjokes. I'd carry on watching the soaps that I still watch now. The awards don't really influence people to watch those soaps and the only really way to work out the quality of a show nowdays is how many ratings that show gets. |

Channel, geological location, audience and demographic have a lot to do with it.

When I come home from a hard day at work, after cooking my dinner and cleaning up in the kitchen all I want to do is to curl up on my sofa and watch something which has good characters and well written scripts. I don't want to watch something "intelligent" I want to watch something where I can escape for half an hour.

Why does EE win the most awards? Because more people vote for it.
What Can you do if you're upset about this and want to make a difference? Get every single person that you know to vote for the soap you want to win in order to try and counteract this. Why are people who haven't watched the show in a year commenting on the quality? I don't really know... |

Well obviously it got more of the votes!
TV ratings count for nothing anymore with all of the +1, omnibus' and catch-up services not to mention Sky+. So anyone suggesting that it's a travesty how they beat Coronation Street is rather gullible. |
