The guy that I sat next to was an English major so I wouldn't have to bother the likes of you with it but he's gone and his replacement asks me questions which is asking for trouble.
If you win an award, called 'Whatever'. If you were to write it out, would you have won 'The Whatever Award' or 'the Whatever award'.
Surely it depends if the 'Award' is part of it's title?
It depends if the 'the' is part of the name of the award. I'm guessing it would be if you phrase it like that, otherwise you wouldn't use it - eg 'he won Wimbledon'
I would say Oscar award rather than Oscar Award, but then I would say Award for Excellence.
I got a solid C in GCSE in English, so you can take that to the bank.
'the Whatever award', unless either 'the' or 'award' is part of the name of the award, I would have thought.
The latter.
Totally depends, there are no rules about this kind of stuff. If you capitalize award then it's probably part of the name of the actual award.
The second one. People in general use too many capital letters.

He doesn't need another lawsuit.
I caved on that one. I couldn't be bothered to get in a sit in meetings and all the files were useless anyway so I just killed the links.
