Not really - If it weren't for the tv ad revenue the awards, I don't think they would even exist.

Of course they would. Most industries have events like this where they honor their "stars" or best producers, best workers, etc. The reason why they broadcast it is because it is the entertainment industry, and a lot of people want to see it, because to them it is entertainment. They want to see stars. (And of course, it helps promote their product.)
