Nearly as intense because the discourse round who ought to and shouldn’t have gained at The Sport Awards yearly is the dialog round what the awards present did proper and mistaken.
This yr, the sticking level with viewers is that when once more the precise builders profitable awards weren’t given sufficient of the highlight, and once they obtained on stage, music started quickly after to play them off, for worry that anybody may repeat Christopher Choose’s eight-minute speech finally yr’s present.
Needing to maintain the present working is one factor, however viewers spoke out about how they disliked how bluntly the winners, the builders we’re meant to be celebrating have been performed off, and Geoff Keighley, the present’s host and creator has come out to say he agrees with this sentiment.
“By the way in which – I do agree that the music was performed too quick for award winners this yr,” Keighley started on Twitter, including that he “requested our workforce to calm down that rule because the present went on.”
Keighley additionally stipulates that “whereas nobody was really reduce off, it’s one thing to handle going ahead.”
That nobody was technically reduce off is a weak protection contemplating that it’s not a far stretch to consider that these on stage felt like they needed to rush as soon as the music started.
Keighley additionally claims that the crew working the present was requested to provide the acceptance speeches extra time, although there was no definitive signal that winners have been really given extra time.
The builders who do get to go on stage after profitable their awards not being given sufficient time is nonetheless solely one of many many points The Sport Awards faces that should be mounted.
Hopefully Keighley does at the very least correctly deal with this for subsequent yr.
