According to their website the awards were started by a group of fans at a college who formed the Count Dracula Society, and grew into a slightly higher profile organization over time. (Helped by the success of Star Wars.) But they're not especially high profile. I'd guess there's a lot of fannishness still there.
And the reason I suggested it in the first place is that Neil Gaiman does have a lot of rabid fans who love everything he does. I liked Sandman and Stardust, and enjoyed some of his other work (most notably Good Omens, cowritten with Terry Pratchett), but for the most part I've kind of wondered what the fuss was about.
And I think you're maligning drunk drivers. They're guilty of poor judgement more than anything else. Avery's work on Beowulf was done deliberately.
