I really have never understood these things.  Granted, JKR is a
marvelous author, but how could she win Entertainer of the Year 2001?
 She hasn't done anything THIS year!  Do you see my logic?  If she
should win awards, it should be for the times she's doing things--like
2000 for the release of GOF.  Maybe I'm just too logical.
