It seems analogous to listing the recipients of other awards, which we've done quite freely throughout Wikipedia. If listing award recipients violates the copyright of the award-givers in an impermissible way this could have some rather drastic effects on other articles.
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.
