CliffyB's Cock Holster
All awards are bullshit.
The only thing that gives them the illiusion of greater or lesser credibility is the prominence of who's handing out the gongs, not the pedigree of who votes for them.
So for instance the Baftas have a lot of credibility because its a known institution, even though fuck knows who's on the jury. Most likely a hand-picked clique of London journo's and industry types.
IDGA is similar, another clique of "cool kids".
Geoff's the smartest player because he's basically a promotor. One with the chutzpah to call his show The Game Awards. Kinda nutty if you think about it. Imagine Roger Ebert creating The Film Awards?!? Of course not.
But anyway, he gets away with it because he's a he's good at mounting shows and promoting his brand. As to who picks the award winners, who the hell knows or cares really! Its basically metacritic except its based on
outlet, not individual reviewer. There'll be enough separation to keep Geoff's hands clean, but beyond that nothing scientific or objective about it.
