The Game Awards 2025
I wasn't planning on watching this, although I was aware it was happening, I guess because I'm into games now or whatever; but I happened to notice it was about to start a few minutes before it began and so thought, hey, why not? Especially as I didn't have to be up in the morning (a good thing, as it went on past 4:00am my time). It was... interesting. The whole awards bit seemed kinda arbitrary, when they rushed through whole clumps of seemingly-major awards without even giving a statuette to the winners, and instead invested tonnes of time to adverts and announcements. Very different to... every other awards show I've ever watched. Equally, maybe the Oscars could learn something from this. If they had trailers/reveals/etc for major upcoming films sprinkled throughout the show as exclusives, maybe they'd attract lapsed/new viewers?
