Excerpts 1 and 2 contain subjective language.

- Excerpt 1 ("Most awards raise a cacophony of sentiment...just plain head-scratching.") uses evaluative, informal phrasing and figurative language.
- Excerpt 2 ("...he was never given the award, which is unjust.") makes an explicit value judgment.

Excerpt 3 ("...had a huge effect.") is mildly subjective because of the evaluative word "huge," while excerpt 4 is neutral/objective.
