[Poll #980885]

Note: "An award" does not mean that you are indiscriminate and will read something just because it won A. N. Award. If you occasionally read books because they win the Whitbread, but couldn't care less about the Nebula winner, tick "yes" for "I have occasionally read a book because it was nominated for or won an award." Similarly, if you've been debating about picking up a book and then an award tips you over the edge, that counts as a yes too. Use your own judgement for what counts as "occasionally" or "often".

I suspect that your flist is not representative of the wider reading population, given the number of people heavily involved in nominating and judging awards, let alone the sheer volume of those who vote in awards due to their involvement in fandom.

I posted the link to a couple of poll communities -- there are a lot of votes from people not on my friendslist.

You do realize that all save one of the oftens and all save five of the occassonallies have you listed as a friend, (and of those, the one and three of the five have several of the usual suspects listed as friends) so the random poll people are overwhelmingly expressing indifference to awards?
