Jade Raymond Envolope on the Game Awards was incorrectly printed
- Thread starter Yurikerr
- Start date
Jade said that the winner for best performance was Viva Seifert (Her Story) for Witcher 3 and he is a CD Project employee so he was confused.
Yeah.
Sorry, on my phone, but this was the reaction.
This GIF is going to get some good use.

Owned for blasting Keifer.
like minutes after that geoff clarified that the winner was from her story
I was refering to people calling her out for fucking everything up.. obviously she wasn't all there.. which hey Geoff... serving your presenters during or before the show.. probably not a good idea... but yeah, clearly her level of sobriety was the least problematic part of her presenting..
This was the FIRST thing I thought as well. "So umm... which one printed on the card was right!?"
it wasn't "her" burn. She just had the (unfortunate apparently) job of reading the joke during her presenting..

My feelings aren't hurt but it was a cheap shot that was totally uncalled for.
Keifer is an awesome dude and loves video games. No reason to shit on him at an awards show.
I expected shit like that at the Spike VGA's but we've supposedly moved past that, at least I thought we did until she made that comment last night.
Well, i'm sure that if Viva wasn't the real winner nobody would had let her accept the award.
And Geoff said on twitter today that the envelop was misprinted.

Why was she acting so weird before she ever even looked at or opened the envelope???
It may be a Marisa Tomei situation. Everyone is just assuming of the name of the actor and the name of the game, the game part got misprinted, not the actor part.

Ya I shouldn't have used the word obviously haha, that was a bit harsh. It isn't really obvious about anything there. My bad

Plastered. She seemed to be speaking very slowly when reading the prompter.
Because they're adults with senses of humor and aren't overly sensitive.
'Cause she was having the time of her life.
And that joke was great; I can't believe so many people are so sensitive about it. You think Kiefer cared?

i dont understand
Have you seen other awards shows? Mocking and throwing jokes at the expense of some of the guests is part of the norm in this things...
I could agree that it felt a bit flat and could have a little better preparation but hey, was funny and I chuckled at the constant Konami bashing =3

Jade nervously dropped ether on Keifer Sutherland with a joke about "imagine playing MGS without the great voice acting of David Hayter..."
Then when she went to read off the winner of the award, she said the ladies name from the game Her Story, but said the name of the game wrong.
"Blah blah... Witcher 3?"
That gif is the guy from CDPR, and you can see the lady in front of him who won the award smiling, while he was completely confused.

but I am a sheep
Well considering that Keighly looked high as fuck, it is very plausible mistake.

No people think she was dunk because the way she was acting and speaking.

If his efforts on Phantom Pain are any indication, I doubt Keifer gives a fuck about anything.
Imagine if they had to yank the award away from her on stage, live. I can't see that happening.
Really? Don't ever watch any award show Ricky Gervais is hosting.
You see her showing the card as the winner is walking towards the stage.

Ohhhhh all things aside, I'm so glad the actress of Her Story won the award. She is really charming and did a great job.

Who cares if she was drunk? Are the VGA some holy award show that can't be desecrated by blunders or what.
Would that even be an issue if it were a man instead? And burns come on watch the emmys once.

Now to throw even more suspicion on the whole thing, what if the actor from WITCHER 3 WAS the winner, and the misprint was the actress's name and NOT the game name and once she announced the HER STORY actress as the winner, the game awards decided to cut their losses and just go with it?

Isn't not an issue?
It's just a fact.
Would you be trying to find offense (where there is none) if this were a man instead?

Shade Raymond was my favorite part.
Sucks about the misprint.
Why are you going there?
Most people thought the whole thing was funny and innocent. No one is shitting on Jade.

Yes, it'd be an issue or something to make light of, at least for me.
Unless it was that Konami dude, he gets a free pass.
It's the new Jags fan.

I haven't seen the video so I dunno the burn that I keep seeing. I'm going home now so I'll just watch it then.

What a bunch of man babies in this thread and when it happened, its not exactly the end of the world. It's not even thread worthy.

Then the integrity of these video game awards is ruined forever!

Because some people hate fun being involved in an event about video games. She was the best part of the show. If shitty remasters and sequels that I can ignore are the cost for all the good things Lucas has done it seems like a small price to pay.

No. We know she was drunk because she was slurring her words, had a lack of inhibition, and other telltale signs of being a plastered boozer.

I didn't think she was drunk, probably just really nervous about dropping a joke as harsh as she did. Like everyone else in the entire show was straight up cornballing it and she just comes in like she was there for a Comedy Central Roast. It seemed like apprehension to me.
Props to her for doing it, it made the night IMO.
