Virtually as intense because the discourse round who ought to and shouldn’t have gained at The Recreation Awards yearly is the dialog round what the awards present did proper and improper.
This yr, the sticking level with viewers is that when once more the precise builders successful awards weren’t given sufficient of the highlight, and after they obtained on stage, music started quickly after to play them off, for concern that anybody would possibly repeat Christopher Decide’s eight-minute speech eventually yr’s present.
Needing to maintain the present working is one factor, however viewers spoke out about how they disliked how bluntly the winners, the builders we’re meant to be celebrating had been performed off, and Geoff Keighley, the present’s host and creator has come out to say he agrees with this sentiment.
“By the best way – I do agree that the music was performed too quick for award winners this yr,” Keighley started on Twitter, including that he “requested our workforce to calm down that rule because the present went on.”
Keighley additionally stipulates that “whereas nobody was really reduce off, it’s one thing to deal with going ahead.”
That nobody was technically reduce off is a weak protection contemplating that it’s not a far stretch to consider that these on stage felt like they needed to rush as soon as the music started.
Keighley additionally claims that the crew working the present was requested to offer the acceptance speeches extra time, although there was no definitive signal that winners had been really given extra time.
The builders who do get to go on stage after successful their awards not being given sufficient time is nonetheless solely one of many many points The Recreation Awards faces that must be mounted.
Hopefully Keighley does a minimum of correctly handle this for subsequent yr.
