Award ceremonies aren’t vital, and if all of us stopped taking a look at them, they’d cease current. Anyway, The Sport Awards are developing subsequent week, December 7, and we’re listening to information about some deliberate adjustments for this 12 months’s outing. Will they let girls on stage? Ha ha, nobody’s talked about that. However we’ve heard they’ll attempt to cease extra uninvited males from taking the mic, with improved safety after high-profile stage rushes at two Keighley-fronted affairs. Alongside that, there’s additionally the press-stopping information that the present will probably be dropping its acquainted “World Premiere” branding earlier than reveals of latest video games and trailers.
This previous weekend, Sport Awards host and emperor Geoff Keighley took half in a Q&A stream on Twitch in regards to the upcoming occasion. Throughout this, he was requested if there is perhaps extra safety measures in place this 12 months, given two latest incidents at Keighley-hosted endeavors.

The primary stage invasion was finally 12 months’s Sport Awards, throughout which a ghastly little baby ran on stage to garble some incoherent nonsense about “reformed Orthodox Rabbi Invoice Clinton” earlier than being dragged away by safety. It was due to this fact much more shocking when one thing very comparable occurred at this 12 months’s Gamescom opening evening, improbably additionally referencing the previous president. This time we have been knowledgeable that Clinton apparently needs to play GTA 6.
“We undoubtedly have plans,” mentioned Keighley on the latest stream, when requested if safety can be improved because of the occasions. “We’re making an attempt to do all we are able to to maintain me secure, but additionally everybody watching the present, the viewers, individuals taking part within the present and every little thing.” He didn’t need to get into any specifics, nevertheless, explaining, “We don’t need to speak about that stuff too publicly, simply because it’s safety.”
My suggestion can be giant, threatening people stood on the backside of the steps that result in the stage. You realize, a coverage to not simply let individuals run up there.

One other tidbit revealed throughout the Twitch stream was a call to maneuver away from the infinite booming bulletins of “WORLD PREMIERE” all through the occasion. One viewer had requested what number of such exclusives (commercials—they’re known as commercials) we might count on to see, and Keighley defined that he hadn’t counted, however then requested the final word philosophical query, “What’s a world premiere?”
Nicely, it’s when one thing is revealed for the very first time, wherever on the earth. Hope this helps. However Keighley continued, “We’re sort of transferring away from that, simply because every little thing’s sort of, ‘Is it a primary look? Is it an announcement?’” Yup, these would each match the remit. However all that mind-boggling confusion is gone now, and “We simply deal with it as all nice sport content material.”
The excellent news is Keighley confirmed they’re making an attempt to maintain the present shorter this 12 months, needling Kratos actor Chris Choose for spoiling such efforts final 12 months by “taking his candy time with his speech.”
So hopefully, this 12 months, we are able to stay up for a much less interrupted run of sport adverts and the trade handing awards to itself.
