Has anyone ever seen an actual award show?

Every year someone at the Oscars will do some shtick like

"my costar in X movie is such a jackass,

naaaaah they're great though"

People are missing the point of these kind of shows. They aren't about recognizing excellence, they're about hanging onto the edge of your seat waiting for a drunk celebrity to mess up.

I find it funny that anyone genuinely thinks Sutherland cares. The guy is a seasoned Hollywood actor and has been at the top of both Cinema and Television. Someone saying he wasn't the best videogame character voice actor is not going to make him lose sleep lol.

Well, for some delicate sections of GAF this was a joke that went too far. They were furiously clutching their pearls.

 

[Lelcar]

Jade also mentions on her twitter that the teleprompter was acting up. It seems like she just got unlucky and a bunch of things went wrong during her segment.

The Hayter joke was weirdly passive aggressive, but I doubt that Sutherland even realized or cared what happened there.

 

[RK9039]

He who controls the teleprompter, controls Shade Rayman.

Well duh. Mass Effect is basically an anime.

Outrage culture has gone too far.

Ahaha. If only.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Was that Doug Cockle looking confused in the audience when Viva got up?

 

[Sayad]

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

That's the thing, some thought the joke and the mistake were made because she was drunk. Honestly, Jade and the Konami burn were the only things that made me laugh last night.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Who is this exactly?

 

[DangerMouse]

She still has the best shots fired of the night.

Haha, yup.

Who knows if it was off script. She was obviously drunk. It's not exactly a conspiracy theory I mean Mark Hamill was three sheets to the wind too.

I didn't think Hamill was, he was pretty on the ball and he always throws in some cool voice over jokes and those two Joker ones were freaking great. If he was he did damn good.

 

[bobawesome]

Who is this exactly?

Aaron Paul

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Aaron Paul

Is that really him? I googled him and he looks different and it says that he's an actor. I assume he was there to accept the award and if he's an actor, not the one for nomination then why would he be there?

Googling him with the awards show and reverse image searching also just brings me back here.

He's one of the people who worked on The Witcher 3.

He looks super confused since they called out Her Story's actress' name but said she was in TW3. You can see her freaking when she heard her name in the lower left.

They're joking.

I don't know their name, but they're a developer for CD Project Red.

 

[antonz]

Who is this exactly?

Marcin Iwnski- Co-Founder of CDProjekt Red. He does shop at the same place George HW Bush buys socks though

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Thank you.

 

[Polioliolio]

I did think she was drunk the moment she picked up the mic, but what can I say, much love to Jade!

 

[Messofanego]

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

Her Story won an award? Fucking sick, dude!

 

[danm999]

Her Story won an award? Fucking sick, dude!

Two actually; Best Story and Best Performance.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Her Story won an award? Fucking sick, dude!

I think it got two awards. I can't remember which the other one was but she was definitely on stage twice.

 

[UraMallas]

Two actually; Best Story and Best Performance.

1.5 actually.

 

[Messofanego]

Two actually; Best Story and Best Performance.

Double awesome!

 

[Harmen]

I love that the Witcher 3 dev is sitting behind her and you can see them both react, haha.

Meth destroys people.

 

[blankempathy]

The Hayter thing was just poor timing. Sutherland was just on stage minutes ago receiving an award on behalf of konami right before Geoff blasted them for banning Kojima. Whether it was her intention or not it looked like she was dog piling on Konami further at Sutherland's expense. He probably didn't care but boy it must of been awkward being there as someone affiliated with the project.

There was a journalism award show in Australia a couple nights ago. It was mostly a trainwreck.

 

[thenexus6]

Who is this exactly?

80s era James Cameron.

 

[Messofanego]

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

Still making me laugh, the contrast of facial expressions.

 

[sappyday]

Whoa I didn't know about the Sutherland shade. lol sort of disrespectful. But that was no way ad-lib so I'm surprised Geoff allowed that to happen. I'm assuming the delivery was to suppose to show respect but it shouldn't been brought up at all considering it's a touchy issue.


I don't know. Weird all around. Funny though.

 

[akira28]

Oh it landed

I have a hard time imagining Keifer giving a damn beyond cashing the check. I mean, a few people are upset with him. Who else would be affected? Konami? Kojima?

 

[Parsnip]

As expected.

 

[IISANDERII]

Jade is right. Hayter is Snake. The joke was great just for all of the salt it's created.

Yup, I wonder if the fake outrage was used to cover some of their preconceived judgements of her.

 

[Fergie]

Harmless but I laughed my ass off. The incredulous reactions after were hilarious.

 

[Xone9]

someone got fired over this

 

[DiipuSurotu]

This incident is why I never watch award ceremonies of any kind. There is way too much opportunity for awkwardness and cringe, I just can't

It was comparatively cringe free than your typical E3 presentation or any of this stuff from previous years.
