How do I fetch a collection of objects using Ember ArrayController?

I am unable to fetch a collection of awards with what I'm doing currently, what am I doing wrong in fetching this collection?

I keep getting the following error:

Error: Error while processing route: awards Assertion Failed: ArrayController expects model to implement the Ember.Array mixin. This can often be fixed by wrapping your model with `Ember.A()
