The awards that are given every year for feats that, in times of yore, would have led to the recipients being burnt alive.
Of course the ceremony would be dominated by the best conjurers, illusionists and magicians. There would also be the Oscar suggestive (Isn't every thing a pointer to the Oscars
this time of year) category for best special effects in a movie, as well as a category for those who have done things that seem to be genuinely miraculous e.g. those that seem to be able to heal via touch, people with amazingly implausible luck. There are dozens of stories about such people every year, so I doubt that nominations would be lacking. It could be an indication to the Vatican for future saints.
The awards themselves would be statues depicting a figure tied to a column surrounded by flames, I'd give an illustration, but I can't draw.

Absolutely! I mean, where is it written that "no miracle may be commercially successful"? (Psst, I'd never mention the Vatican when discussing something like this, but since you already did, they'd never submit to oversight here. Hell's bells, they've yet to condemn dispensationalism (at least in modern times)." |

you mean antidisestablishmentarianism. |

I'd rather watch that on T.V. than
the Emmys. |

Nice link. I especially liked the quote 'doctors say she has a condition called "foreign accent syndrome"'. Priceless. That's so very like the medical profession.
"Doctor, I have a wooden leg!"
"Ah yes, you're suffering from wooden leg syndrome." |

Proving once again that we Hoosiers are really just Brits with layers of American nonsense piled on. |

That would be great! For some reason this reminds me of the Darwin awards. |

What about particularly unlucky people? |
