[Anth0ny]

this was obvious the second she said it

 

[Toparaman]

Who gets credit for the Keifer Sutherland burn though? Because that shit was fire.

I'm just going to keep thinking that she ad-libbed it in a moment of drunken brilliance.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

LOL at anyone who has hurt feelings over either the David Hayter comment or misreading. Some sensitive people out there.

 

[BronsonLee]

The amount of uppity posters was rad, there should be a hallf of shame.

That whole thread was a dumpster fire

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Yeah I dunno, watching that video, either she was having trouble reading the cue cards, or she's obviously on whatever Harrison Ford is on, because they talk

at exactly



the same



pace

 

[mrmickfran]

What damage? Internet people impulsively yelling with their keyboards?

Yes.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I am shocked. Because perfectly reasonable and decent people on this board were positive she was an incompetent, intoxicated, [insert misogynistic noun here].


......

I thought this would have been MORE THAN obvious last night.....



because for the first 12 hours they assumed people would resort to some sort of common sense. obviously they assumed wrong.

It is pathetic isn't it.

SMH

Sometimes (almost daily), I am embarrassed/ashamed to be a part of the human race.

 

[Head.spawn]

Ahhh, right on. Video?

Sorry, on my phone, but this was the reaction.

 

[capitalCORN]

Women are the reason I haven't been laid yet. I blame Jade Raymond fully.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Everyone including her seemed pretty confused when it happened so it's no surprise and her joke was great.

 

[wenis]

so controversy (lol) over. everyone get back to important things.

 

[SmackAttack]

That whole thread was a dumpster fire

Bummed I missed it. I keep reading about it in various threads.

 

[Fhtagn]

Dude, she looked drunk as fuck.

You can chalk it up to all the misogynists here on Gaf but it was pretty apparent that she wasn't all there as soon as she started talking. Then she threw shade at Keifer out of nowhere and then it seemed like she fumbled reading the envelope.

It's no surprise that people thought she was drunk.

Out of nowhere? That punchline was so obvious from the second she started talking. I would be shocked if it was an ad-lib.

 

[BronsonLee]

If I could pick between dunking my head into oil and reading that thread, I'd have to think about it

 

[ConfusedGamer]

The funniest thing to me was that she put the award on the floor stating it was too heavy.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Im sure keifers heard the same burn through out his association with the project. If it was a TelePrompTer (if that unverified Twitter is hers she said it was). I'm gonna assume they okeyed it with him

Still funny regardless

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Yeah I dunno, watching that video, either she was having trouble reading the cue cards, or she's obviously on whatever Harrison Ford is on, because they talk

Teleprompter.

If people laughing at a drunk presenter makes you embarrassed to be human then you'll need solitary confinement to stay sane.

While she was definitely either drunk or incredibly nervous, I cannot believe anyone would ever take offense at the Keifer joke. Ricky Gervais must have made everyone here clutch their pearls with all the jokes HE was telling about celebrities at his award show appearance!

 

[Paganmoon]

The Sutherland shade was funny as hell. Very Gervais, not sure what problem people could have with that.

The award itself, haven't seen it yet, but the way it's transcribed so far seems like it indeed was missprint on the envelope.

 

[outunderthestars]

Everyone including her seemed pretty confused when it happened so it's no surprise and her joke was great.

I imagine that these award shows notify the winners in advance as well as a way to encourage attendance which just had to increase the confusion.

 

[gogogow]

It was the award for Best Performance. She read the VA for Geralt in Witcher 3 when really the woman from Her Story won.

She didn't. She said the correct name, but the wrong game. So she said Viva Seifert, The Witcher 3 instead of Viva Seifert, Her Story.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

It's no surprise that people thought she was drunk.

Thats because she was drunk. Just look at her eyes lol.

Not that I care either way mind you, but still

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Teleprompter.

Yeah, sorry, don't know why I said cue cards.

I must be on whatever Harrison Ford is on as well

 

[EdibleExplosives]

It always amazes me how sensitive gamers get over the tiniest things (yet moan about people being too offended, apparently resulting in overly PC games).

 

[Lionel Richie]

Doug Cockle is awesome, that was just the universe conspiring to state that fact.

 

[DryvBy]

WorkGAF here. I can't watch YouTube. Someone explain what happened? I was going to just watch this tonight.

 

[injurai]

While she was definitely either drunk or incredibly nervous, I cannot believe anyone would ever take offense at the Keifer joke. Ricky Gervais must have made everyone here clutch their pearls with all the jokes HE was telling about celebrities at his award show appearance!

and it was the best award show for it

 

[borghe]

yeah, I mean I am more leaning to her being drunk.. but the things people were actually annoyed about (Hayter and Witcher 3) were clearly on the writers/producers.. not her.

and the Hayter thing I don't get... people rib at awards shows all the time.. Sutherland's an acclaimed TV and movie star of some classic titles from both industries.. do you really think he cares that he catches a little shit at an award show all in good fun?

 

[NoFoX]

Hotness!
Doesn't matter, she did the right shout-out!

 

[+Aliken+]

What was wrong, the game or the name?

 

[Alienous]

She was showing the envelope, wasn't she?

Anyway as part of the game industry I'd expect her to be able to wing it better than that.

 

[SmackAttack]

If I could pick between dunking my head into oil and reading that thread, I'd have to think about it

Damn, son.

She didn't. She said the correct name, but the wrong game. So she said Viva Seifert, The Witcher 3 instead of Viva Seifert, Her Story.

Ah, my mistake. Now that makes more sense.

 

[Meccanical]

Sorry, on my phone, but this was the reaction.

What was he reacting too?

 

[Schryver]

Obviously it was incorrectly printed. I just don't get why she didn't say the correct game right afterwards. Would have been crazy if the actor from the game that was announced was the one who was supposed to win

 

[Yurikerr]

What was wrong, the game or the name?

The game.

The actress was from Her Story.

 

[Einchy]

While she was definitely either drunk or incredibly nervous, I cannot believe anyone would ever take offense at the Keifer joke. Ricky Gervais must have made everyone here clutch their pearls with all the jokes HE was telling about celebrities at his award show appearance!

I wasn't offended and most people in the thread thought it was funny. However, it's probably not something someone does without having a drink or two in them.

I looked at her and then she started reading and I thought, "she looks drunk" but it turns out it was just because I'm a misogynist.

 

[Sloane_Ranger]

I'm just going to keep thinking that she ad-libbed it in a moment of drunken brilliance.

#teamdrunkenbrilliance

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

What was he reacting too?

Look at his shirt. He was the one accepting all the Witcher awards, so he was obviously confused why they announced her name, followed by his game.

 

[DeepEnigma]

If people laughing at a drunk presenter makes you embarrassed to be human then you'll need solitary confinement to stay sane.

I am not talking about that specifically, but let us pretend that people were not being more crass and using it as a pedestal to spew even more unnecessary hate, etc. over video games.

I mean as a whole, on this planet, not this specific scenario, but many scenarios globally with our species.

Let us keep pretending people were being so noble in their cause tho.

 

[iNvid02]

the funniest part was when a thread got made demanding for her to apologize to kiefer

she was probably laughing with with kiefer, viva and the guy from cdpr in the after party while you're sitting here getting butt hurt on gaf

 

[DryvBy]

The game.

The actress was from Her Story.

Ok. I just pieced this together so now it makes sense. Thanks.

...and now what?

Lol rip.

 

[georly]

Out of nowhere? That punchline was so obvious from the second she started talking. I would be shocked if it was an ad-lib.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't ad lib. Who at the game awards thought that would have been a good idea to write on the teleprompter... especially when the previous award was for best action game that Kiefer himself picked up? Why would anyone write that for her to say?

 

[ConfusedGamer]

What was he reacting too?

Nobody by that name voiced over in the Witcher III maybe?

 

[prag16]

this was obvious the second she said it

This. I was in disbelief last night that so many people seemed to think she just fucked it up on her own.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

What was wrong, the game or the name?

Her choice of beverage.

 

[+Aliken+]

The game.

The actress was from Her Story.

I know, but has anyone clarified that?

 

[Meccanical]

Look at his shirt. He was the one accepting all the Witcher awards, so he was obviously confused why they announced her name, followed by his game.

Oh, I didn't watch the show.

 

[Permanently A]

What was he reacting too?

Jade said the winner for best actor was "Viva Seifert for Witcher 3" but Viva was in Her Story, not Witcher 3. Which was why the Witcher dev was confused.
