I think we can call it the Japan Academy, haha (especially because the Wikipedia article calls it that, or the 'Nippon Academy'--it also has more information on the prize if anyone is curious. It's pretty much the equivalent to the American Academy Awards, and Ringo won the musical division).

Yeah it's sort of a nomination.
But what is different from the Oscar is that all "nominees" are given "the award of excellence", along with a certain amount of prize. And one of them will be chosen as "the most excellent", and will be given more prize in advance. |
