Except they didn't. Their objection was to authors they disapproved of winning awards, and they prevented authors they disapproved of from winning awards.

Wait, did they? I just saw this and will have to look again, but I thought they were opposed to leftist, minority, and women authors, and it seems all the winners, save Guardians of the Galaxy, were exactly that.

You are right though that they did, in a way, succeed. They infected the organization and had name recognition. They disrupted the process and more deserving candidates didn't get nominated because their reactionary trash got in in its place. But I'll take the minor victory here. It's... something.
