This comment made me laugh...

...it's completely bonkers of course because giving a real award to a fictional character is the kind of thing people tend to do with Coronation Street and EastEnders when they send in knitted clothes for the newborn baby...

Totally agree with that..

And let's not forget that Holmes' creator's relationship with Chemistry was purley that of the consumer.. specifically, a consumer of large quantities of opium/laudinum.
