Turns out people are caring less and less about Hollywood celebs jerking each other off.

They wanna see game developers jerk each other off

Celebrity worship is fucking insane in this culture and extremely unhealthy

i cant believe that many people watch the fucking game awards for one thing, but for another that seems like a pretty stable pattern up until 2021. hmm, i wonder what could have happened to the movie industry last year to cause that

The more celebrity worship dies off the better, for everyone. The celebrities included.

This is probably more to do with no one caring about awards from out of touch old people though.

I don't watch either, but TGA at least shows footage for upcoming games which is the only thing to make it worthwhile.

Steam embeds it the last few years.

Stream numbers are never reliable for many reasons.

Yesterday, no one cared since covid delayed all the big movies and while the indies can be great movies, they dont have mainstream appeal.

Probably because you can watch the game awards on youtube or twitch for nothing while for the Oscars you need to either be one of the handful of people on the planet who still has cable or subscribe to some of the shittiest streaming services out there.

ABC is free, but streaming doesn't count for ratings. And a lot of people use streaming now.

I stopped watching the Oscars years ago because I don't feel like spending hours just watching them hand out awards to people. If something interesting happens, it'll be on Youtube the next day.

You don't, you need a digital antenna. You'll need a subscription to something to watch it online. Be that cable or sling/fubu/hulu live/YouTube tv

You do realize theres these things called antennas, right? You buy one and can watch local channels for free forever. I paid $10 for mine.

It's a bunch of film makers that get huge baskets of very expensive gifts along with each submission... I believe.
I think Spielberg is on the council and tried to get Netflix movies banned. I.may be remembering that wrong tho.

Yep, it's super pretentious bullshit that for the most part is liked only by a small portion of the movie going audience. Plus, it's all fucking rigged and snobbishly exclusionary.
