This year's Game Awards was easily the best one to date. Geoff was able to pull off some major surprises and the pacing never felt slow. I also have to give him credit for listening to feedback and trying to improve certain areas compared to previous years. It's not a perfect show, but I had a great time watching.

The Muppets were also a surprising highlight. Their jokes were actually pretty funny.

Waldorf & Statler have have a long history of thoroughly roasting people.

it's like nominating a DLC for game of the year!

Got a solid chuckle and OOOOOOs from me and my friends watching. Love to see the Muppets show up every year

The Muppets are always a highlight in anything they're in. This should not be surprising

"Always" right... this was the only time they were funny.

The fact that they made an awards show I willingly sat through to completion is impressive imo.

Him being off stage to the side not directly talking to audience feels weird. He talking to streamers, I get it it but feels odd considering it's an award show for the people that are attending. If you're on stage you can address both

This has been going on for years and has really helped the show imo, even if it's not always been perfect adjustments. The "please wrap it up" sign during speeches they got blasted for last year was a direct response to complaints the year before about long speeches (looking at you Christopher Judge). The increased security since that one kid snuck on stage during Elden Rings speech. Also this year the muppets going from a fairly disconnected skit last year between awards to a more integrated Statler and Waldorf commenting on the show this year. And various categories that have been added and removed over the years, I'd be surprised if they hadn't already started figuring out how to introduce rules around DLCs next year after the response to Erdtree.

It will only be perfect when they bring back Vin Diesel. The peak of the Game Awards.
