I apparently don’t understand the Oscar judges, since I disagree with their choices frequently

You and me both. I get the feeling there is a lot of politics within the industry that we don't see going into these kinds of things.

Frieren really turned around the last couple episodes

I enjoyed them while they were airing, but now that we are in the second round of this arc, I can look back and realize that the show spent a lot of episodes in the first round. The second round with these latest episodes just feels so much more satisfying to me. However, I also appreciate that a large part of that is due to getting to know the characters better after the first round. I don't know how to do it better, but I can at least sympathize with people that weren't fans of the first round episodes.
