Why is it the case that centralized voting systems (i.e. Oscars, Grammys, etc.) carry more prestige than decentralized/democratic ones (millions of fans voting for best picture)? Do we value the opinion of a select few (the academy) over millions of fans?

Those awards emerged pre-internet when content discovery/distribution was necessarily more tethered to broadcast media & had more time to be venerable. Curating who votes & by what standards are framed more as a brand now & offer denominating “knowledge.” Not default prestigious

My uninformed guess: legacy belief that expert curation yields better results when judging an art. And it might in some cases. Would a popular vote yield the right National Medal of Science winner? Or do too few peeps have 'taste' in mathematics, for instance, to have opinion?
