I teach art. I will tell a student to their face, that what they have done is not good (and why--and most importantly how to fix it). It is not a public thing. It should not be a public thing. I also try and point out (at the same time) what is good about what they have done.
Of course, the pretentiousness of a lot of the awards/awards shows creates (I think) something of a desire to deflate or bring people down a step or two in the public. As Jake points out, however, there are better and more wholesomely fun ways to go about that.
Art is contentious--especially when judging art as good or bad. Usually subjective and highly contextual and time fixed in most cases. Usually also overtly political. I tend to avoid the whole awards thing/shows because of that, though I do pay attention to who./what is nominated.
As an aside, I watched The Menu this weekend. Amazing film. Highly recommend. Great performances, well put together, an interesting and tension filled plot--that is both frightening and yet absurd (in a good way) and darkly humorous.
