Awards and recognition are powerful advertising, whether you care or not. This one gatekeeper would like to reel in more users of their cinema-based distribution model -- the only way they get to charge their own particular kind of tax.
Some industries are smarter and don't even have to wave around awards and recognition to encourage businesses to use their venues -- they simply lobbied governments to enforce a highly specific tax regardless of venue, broadcasting, or promotions. e.g. Look up "Authorized combative sport tax." It's crazy.
