The Literary Film Award for Singers - Oscar Wilde: Honouring Irish Writing In Film

The original Oscar Wilde award was handed out for poetry or even a play; now it is being awarded for film but this year it is been given to a singer, Van Morrison. So if we run through that again, the award associated with the playwright Oscar Wilde is been given to a singer for his contribution to film. What!! Is this a reflection on the merits of Irish Literature when its status is being sold to add weight to film or music?
