Will the VGA's ever be good?

I think a lot of people deserve to be praised for the work they do on games. And I'd like to watch them get that praise, to be honest. I'd also just like to get more of an insight into the industry. Movies and TV are overblown on that kind of stuff, and games get nothing.

The problem is that so many movie and TV show celebrities get thrown into our sh*t, where they don't belong. I don't know, or care, who Kim Kardsihinsihsins is, and she has no right to be on the stage longer than the guys from Epic, or Will Wright.

Too me, it's less about the awards and more about the industry coming together. I know there are other shows similar, like GDC, but that's pretty much closed off to the outside, and only recently has that kind of exposure gone on to pretty much destroy what it was, and turn it into a smaller games convention, instead of a haven for developers.

I don't know, I just think it's time someone gives the industry the respect it deserves.
