I mean, TGA is an online stream as opposed to television right? So kinda makes sense it'd have more viewers. They also announce new shit there.

I thought that, then was pretty sure the oscars were online as well... then didnt want to actually do any reading and research about viewership across platforms

And TGA is terrible. People probably just watch it for game reveals. Maybe these celebrity award shows should announce new stuff too.

Sure but thats still means more people are willing to watch The Game Awards over the Oscars as well as Grammys and Emmys because of hold behind the times those award shows are

Go ahead and turn the oscars into a full-contact sport, and people will suddenly give a shit.

Streaming numbers and TV ratings are measured differently. TV viewership is given out in terms of the average of people who are watching throughout the program (in the US), streaming numbers often include anyone who turned in for even a portion (and generally include all countries).

At the very least more people have prob seen that will smith slap clip than last year's TGA. The clip uploaded on Guardian News youtube channel has 70m views which I think is the highest so far. Then a bunch of other youtube channels have uploaded the same clip with view count hovering around 1 to 10m. Also im sure tens of millions more viewers on tiktok and twitter.

I know the #oscarsathome has accumulated 16.3 billion total views on tiktok. I wonder what number it was on prior to the slap.

Aren't game awards viewship counted globally while Oscar viewership is counted nationally?

Further, the Game Awards airs at a time where people outside in Europe can follow along with it. I don't have to watch at like 4 in the morning if I want to watch the Game Awards (ew, saying that made me throw up in my mouth a little). I do have to be up at that time if I want to watch the Oscars.

Then that just tells me how out of touch and behind the times the Oscars are then

yeah this is what i wanted to see tbh

im surprised it jumped that much tho - i figured everyone saw it on twitter a little while later, maybe 5-10 mins later, tuned on the oscars for a sec, then dipped when they saw it was back to normal

83 million people seriously watched the Game Awards? Why? Theyre a waste of time. Just watch the trailers the next day.

I don't think that's true, though? Like the shows usually end at 11 Eastern, not far off from when the Oscar's is ending

Yeah wtf this is a massive number. I only watched one year a while ago when it was rumored there would be a Smash character reveal (it was Joker)

I'm honestly really surprised The Game Awards is that popular. I've heard virtually no one ever mention it, aside from the news drops after the fact...
