The way they kept, almost instantly, playing people off was terrible. It really felt like they don’t give a shit about the awards when they have to bring out Kojima to announce nothing for eons. Geoff even ‘thanking’ the first winners for keeping it short felt less like the joke he, no doubt, intended it to be and… Read more

I think it’s telling how seriously the “awards show” aspect is taken when you’ve got plenty of celebrity appearances hocking their upcoming projects/products for minutes at a time, while the folks winning the awards are quickly ushered off stage.
