1.   But that day at Quincy Market, the award seemed appropriate.

2.   For a while, the award seemed to be turning into a consolation prize for haughty liberals whose disdain had turned the voters against them.

6.   Film rights have been optioned and literary awards seem likely.

7.   But the award must have seemed a small consolation for missing out on the animated feature gong.
