Imagine if they had to yank the award away from her on stage, live. I can't see that happening.

I think that someone from the show staff gave her a signal to go. There's a delay between everyone acting surprised and Viva walking to the stage.

It wouldbe really comical if she gave an acceptance speech and a day later someone says that she wasn't the real winner.

I loved the "crazy ass MGS fans" shout out.

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.

It's thread worth because it's funny. That's about it.

 

[Einchy]

Because some people hate fun being involved in an event about video games. She was the best part of the show.

Who are these people?

People thought her shitting on Kiefer was funny and were laughing all along.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

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?

Witcher 3 thing seemed pretty obvious to be a production problem. And agreed on the Hayter joke, plus it was an actual relevant joke at a show about video games instead of a fart joke or a "that's what she said" or something else assuming everyone watching is 14, we should be so lucky as to get more of that, imo

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I didn't think she was drunk, probably just really nervous about dropping a joke as harsh as she did. .

Gary Busey could even tell she was tipsy.

he reads anything on the teleprompter. Anything

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

LMAO!! This is gunna get a couple memes lol

 

[thenexus6]

...And a new reaction GIF was born.

PSX is starting tomorrow. Perfect timing.

 

[GuardianE]

This seemed pretty obvious. Good to clear it up.

 

[Arttemis]

Her burn was completely out of place, though.

Out of place? A mild, harmless jab to fill the time between an incredibly slow teleprompter lines? Totally.... /s

 

[Demption]

What, did someone believe she said The Witcher because she had heard it before? Of course the paper was misprinted.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

She's got pretty nice legs

And everyone made fun of them for making that thread.

She still has the best shots fired of the night.

Nah, Geoff was the man of the hour on that front.

He did not disarm his nukes.

 

[Weetrick]

I didn't realize "throwing shade" was such a popular expression. Is it the new "salt/salty"?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

She was either really nervous or drunk. Only she knows.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

They wait until 12 hours after the show to tell us that.

Damage already done.

What fucking damage?
lol
Some of you people really need to step back and get some fresh air.
Good lord...

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I wish

No actually I don't, then I'd never want to hear either expression ever again

 

[blakep267]

For some reason I'm just coming to the realization that this Jade Raymond is the same person who used to be on Electric Playgroubd years ago during the early G4 days

 

[takriel]

Drunk awards are best awards.

But seriously, Jade was hammered there lol.

 

[entremet]

It's because it rhymes with her name--Jade. More punny.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Pretty sure they just handed her the GOTY award by accident.

 

[onQ123]

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.

No something was going on with her from the second she stepped on stage look at her face.

 

[Dennis]

Vindication for Punished Jade

 

[robertlebrone]

Haha, she was drunk as shit. lol good stuff.

 

[Quadraphonic]

"Throwing shade" has existed long before "salty" did, except it wasn't used in game circles, rather more on reality TV.

 

[Psychoward]

People think she was drunk because she made a quick joke (and then said it was mean and apologized, by the way) and then read a card incorrectly printed? She knew something was wrong there. Come on, people.

I'm glad I didn't visit that thread yesterday.

Why was she acting so weird before she ever even looked at or opened the envelope???

Have you ever been around a drunk person ever?

 

[Head.spawn]

It's back in that retro type way.

 

[Backfoggen]

Hayter-gate is ridiculous.

 

[blakep267]

Yea I don't think she was drunk. I can't read a telempromoter when I'm drunk. She was probably nervous or something

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Hayter-gate is ridiculous.

They drinking that Hayterade

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

No matter what she was supposed to say, she's either the worst presenter ever or she was loaded on stage.

 

[FonkyByNature]

It's the new Jags fan.

Yup !

This

is the new this

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Why are you going there?

Most people thought the whole thing was funny and innocent. No one is shitting on Jade.

Maybe I misinterpreted some of the posts here then.

 

[GuardianE]

Who cares if she was drunk? What relevance does that really have to the misprinted card and the scripted joke?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Yea I don't think she was drunk. I can't read a telempromoter when I'm drunk. She was probably nervous or something

Why would she be nervous???

It wasn't even a full house.

 

[Dennis]

There is a gaffer in this gif.

 

[AppleMIX]

I don't know, I think it is kind of a good rule of thumb to be mostly sober at a award ceremony.

It is a professional event.

 

[entremet]

I know.

I'm just saying why it got more use in this instance.

It's pretty obvious, no?

"Shade Raymond" etc.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Who cares if she was drunk?

I don't think anyone thinks she will burn in hell for being blitzed at an awards ceremony but it's an observation and a pretty obvious one.

People notice things and make light of them.

It's not a huge deal even though she was awkward.

People at the Emmy's are often smashed too and people make light of it.

 

[Barry Burton]

- Hayter joke was funny.
- It was immediately apparent that there was a misprint on the card.
- She had some drinks, or she didn't. I don't see what the big deal is.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Why? Because you don't like her?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Is Kiefer alright though? I hope Jade paid for his hospital bills. That burn was nasty.

 

[GuardianE]

I don't know, I think it is kind of a good rule of thumb to be mostly sober at a award ceremony.

It is a professional event.

She wasn't belligerent or inappropriate in any way. If she was drunk, it didn't affect the awards ceremony in any way whatsoever.

And the awards ceremony is also a social and networking event.

It's an award ceremony getting extremely drunk is one of the few positive things a host/award giver can do

 

[BibiMaghoo]

She looks nervous, not drunk. I would be in the same position. The mistake on the card was pretty awful, but not her fault at all. The Hayter thing was clearly a joke, she even said sorry after it.
