I dont want to wade into it too much but I really do not like the idea of quotas. I think once you start doing that you start eroding whatever integrity or value the award itself has.

Its not the same as with Universities or education where quotas provide an opportunity to those that otherwise wouldnt get it, this is an award (presumably) for excellence.

It doesnt appear that they're being discriminated against, they're just up against the toughest competition.

They're still millionaires and celebrities.
