No. Awards are published one per year, and listing recipients is a
matter of adding one per year, many secondary sources will do this. In
this case the Cool Wall is a construct of the show, the list of
vehicles with placements on the wall is more analogous to a pop chart,
and those definitely are copyright.
But we are all guessing, albeit that I have yet to hear a robust
analogy which is shown not to be copyright. Where there are competing
guesses, I would suggest that we should be cautious, where copyright
is concerned.
