More people still watch it for the trailers than they do for the ceremony itself. I think trailers are fine, but if they want to be the “Oscars of gaming”, they should just do it like the Oscars themselves and keep all new trailers relegated to simple ad buys that play during a commercial break between segments.

The trailers are the only reason the show exists. It is not about celebrating games or anything, it’s about making as much cash as possible.
