The last deserving winner was either The King’s Speech in 2010 or Argo in 2021, since then it has been all obscure films that either virtue signal in the preferred way, or check off a category that they needed to check off.

Merit and quality filmmaking no longer mattter.

I felt exactly the same way about the last Emmy Awards show that I caught. I watched a bit of it and was a little shocked that I did not know ANY of the nominees who were getting nominations and awards. Too many streaming channels to keep up with.
