It should be the exact opposite of how it is now. Make a couple categories that are popularity contests. Otherwise we’re stuck in an award ceremony where category entries are chosen based on popularity parity and not necessarily who deserves what.

Upon reading their FAQ: “The winners in most categories are determined by the international jury (90%) and a public fan vote (10%)” so I guess I retract everything I said?

Replying to @micahwhipple
that's kinda weird since they did specifically say during the show that it was popular vote, didn't they?

Seemed that way, or they at least really hyped up the public voting and didn’t mention at all that press outlets actually decide it.
