Awards and honours
For some awards and honours, being nominated or shortlisted is itself considered an honour, as in the case of the Academy Awards and other similar events, and with events such as book and arts awards. In 2015 there were 273 candidates nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, while 9000 are nominated for the more satirical Ig Nobel Prizes every year.
