What occurs at an awards ceremony is that you win twice.
The first sucess is a repetition or resurgence of the sucess you have already achieved through the act that resulted in your nomination. For example you win a race, perform an act of heroism, make a work of art. This act is deemed worthy and validated as a success by the ceremony.
The second sucess comes with the prize and your speech: The prize stands in for and replaces the validated status attributed by the ceremony. Then an acceptance speech is given, which in line with convention, redistributes that success to others involved and to those in the immediate community.
Thus an award winner wins twice, but the success is replaced by an object, and redistributed amongst those complicit in original the event.
