Some films seem to be better "acclaimed" than others. They never seem to choose the 'correct' winners, or even nominees (at least that's my opinion - not that it was asked for).

People do seem to think this is important stuff for one reason or another. I don't have much interest in it, as it's more of a game than anything else. Even so, here is a partial list of award nominations.
