Then one of the other shows would have won. They were way more popular than Picard Season 3.

They were certainly better made
No, they were also more popular. I rarely saw anyone except Star Trek fans or Star Trek sites talk about Season 3 on Social media.
Meanwhile I saw a wide verity of people talking about the other series nominated.
I listen to a few non-star trek media podcasts, and I've heard those shows brought up, but never Picard Season 3. Picard sometimes, but usually something to effect they gave up on it after the first season.
Popularity was clearly the wrong word. Regardless, the awards were clearly biased towards Picard. It was certainly not any kind of measurement of quality, as other shows were vastly superior on most fronts.
I didn't really like most of Andor, though the prison episode was definitely worth the hype at the very least.
Regardless, it was 100 times better written, shot and acted than Picard season 3.
Most awards are when it comes to entertainment.
I'll root for ANDOR next time... unless it's up against Legacy 
Are they?
Forgetting that I'm now thinking that popularity was the wrong choice of words in regards to Picard..... If popularity was the number one factor in handing out awards, wouldn't ever Oscar's, at least a few years ago, be dominated by Marvel movies?
Not popularity based upon what audiences love, but popularity in what Hollywood loves. So, it's reflective of that subculture within.
Which is why I find it something that is less interesting and more just hollow fanfare, amounting to nothing.
It's like "Return of the King" at the Oscars. That is to say, Picard was ending, and Andor still has another year. So they can give Andor its award after season 2, but they will not have another chance for Picard.
But Picard was no Return of the King....
Yeah, Picard coming and going without any awards would hardly have been a snub.
Plus RotK wasn't even nominated entirely on its own merits - it was also a stand-in for the trilogy as a whole which a lot of people thought had already been snubbed before RotK even came out.
Show of hands who really believes that the people who're seriously claiming Pic. S3 was the best show of the year would totally agree that Seasons 1 or 2 should also have won the award?

Both SNW Season 2 and DSC Season 4 were better and more intelligently written shows for sure.
As opposed to a doctor sent on a black ops mission?
Both shows were spectacular.
I think it's incredibly difficult to throw down a firm "one was better than the other". They were different shows entirely. Both of them were absolutely amazing. I liked PIC more, if only because I felt Andor took a bit to actually get going anywhere.
I can't get on board with that, at all.
SNW S4 was fun... but it relied heavy on gimmick episodes and had alot of just plain silliness. I can't think "intelligent writing" and "people are singing? The universe must work on musical rules now! Obvi!"...
DSC S4 was the best thing that Discovery has done, although the unrelenting and insidious focus on Burnham dragged the show down and it botched the landing once again, although not quite as bad as seasons past, by giving into the meme and having the situation resolved by Burnham literally crying at it.
Emotions...oh no.
I would be inclined towards this, at least if I were to put Picard against the two. I think SNW Season 2 was a much more mixed bag, but when it landed it (Among the Lotus Eaters, Broken Circle) it landed it well. Discovery was also very enjoyable and introduced some very interesting characters, and built upon Burnham more. But, I will of course be transparent and say that there are few TNG characters who hook me like Pike or Burnham either.
Not really. I'll do it right now. Andor was a better show than Picard in every conceivable way.
As opposed to Picard, which felt entirely like a gimmick.
Silliness in Star Trek? Heaven forbid!

SNW had 3 good episodes, PIC had 10.
Disco was too dragged out, very slow and boring, and had highlights like filters that only filter known stuff and let in unknown stuff
