We Owe Christopher Judge’s TGA Speech A Lot More Respect

Christopher Judge took The Game Awards seriously and spoke with passion - he deserves to be celebrated for it

[-Foxtrot]

And also it felt like he was taking his time so more people could win Steamdecks

Like how MILF Hunter won XD

[darthv72]

that's what i noticed as well. Im like... keep talking dude, my chance to win is increasing.

I didn't win (sad panda)

[gold_drake]

i dont think anyone disrespects him for it haha.

its a meme worthy moment, thats it rly.

and apparently ppl won steamdecks during it haha

[blackblades]

Geoff and couple of others took shots about it while on stage. Honestly I left the room did a bunch of stuff and came back and was like daaaam he still talking.

[gold_drake]

yeh i know, i saw it haha
cause no one expected it to be that long.

but mentioning it, is not disrespecting someone for it.

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

The Game Awards disrespected him while he was giving it as well as after. That is what the article is about.

[gold_drake]

y'all are so sensitive. i watched it and there was no disrespect in them making comments about it.

[Zeke68]

The did disrespect him imho. They even started to play music in the background as he was talking to make him take the hint. He won - His time in the light. Let him talk in peace. Was a great speech all things considered.

[Odiumsatanas]

I've been a fan of his since '02 haha, as Teal'c in SG1 haha, so honestly i was so happy for him to finally get another perfect role and the recognition he deserves. The man's a legend. Compared to the endless ads and weak trailers, a 6 minute speech is incredibly tame, it's not that long at all haha, ripping on him for it was bizarre

[GoodGuy09]

I was thinking at first we should've moved on but then it got pretty cool, really gave out his heart on that stage and the music that came in was nice of the staff.

[porkChop]

The music is actually to notify the person to wrap up their speech. They weren't doing it to be nice lol. They were trying to get him off the stage.

[ClayRules2012]

Lol, true. I’m glad he just kept talking, it actually added to the bit left of what he said, I think haha.

[Double_O_Revan]

It's funny because with as long as it took them to put the music on, I'm betting they didn't even have it set up, not thinking something like this would happen. With the Oscars, they do it for people taking too long, but also for people that get up there to shout out political BS.

[ClayRules2012]

Yeah, his speech was moving and heartfelt, I loved it!

[Ristul]

He talked in slow motion, he could have said the same thing in a quarter of that time. He talked for 8 minutes, like COME ON!

[FreeFallFrenzy]

I've been a fan of Christopher Judge for 25 years, so I'm glad he had the opportunity to get up there, slow down, and talk from his heart. Was the best speech of the night imo

[goldwyncq]

"The man was deeply honoured and humbled to be up there, and nobody gave a fuck. It’s just so sad and cruel."

Do game journalists always have to be this sanctimonious?

[Crows90]

These journalists were the ones who thought no one gave a fuck. They're the problem. I didn't see a problem with the speech. It's the freaking game awards and he won an award. Let him speak. If you don't then wtf is the point of handing out those awards?

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

It seems you didn't see the speech AND didn't bother reading the article since you are saying that a journalist who calls out the poor way The Game Awards treated Christopher Judge while he was speaking as "the problem." Basically, you are ok with The Game Awards playing music over Judge's speech and flashing "please wrap it up" when he had the nerve to talk for over 2 minutes during an awards show that only gives out a few awards live on stage.

[Crows90]

@gameseeker

I dont give sites clicks. So yes I dont read garabage articles either. This is one such article by the headline.
Basically I am not okay with that but he was given plenty of time and the show must go on. He was not disrespected at all. Did they go on and take his mic away? No. They played the music to cue him so be quiet and dont make false accusations.

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

@Crows90

You deciding an article is garbage from the line "Christopher Judge took The Game Awards seriously and spoke with passion - he deserves to be celebrated for it" does say something about you.

Nothing good but still something.

[Crows90]

@gameseeker

So the same issue I have with the headline now I have with you. The premise that these guys are on some high moral ground above everyone else and must somehow force their sense of right and wrong on others. Yes that says a lot about me and Im perfectly fine with admitting that. Get off your high horse.

Your responses are funny especially since you take the stance that somehow I agree with disrespecting him. You base it only on the premise that i dislike the headline and didnt read the article. Yet it is clear that you also failed to read my first comment. Where in that comment did I say he should be disrespected...in fact i clearly stated the opposite...so either you have serious reading comprehension issues or your just looking for someone to put down. Essentially that is my problem with the article. It makes an effort to put people down. People that wanted it to continue, people that found it humorous, etc.

[Zeref]

Yeah I think they're projecting a bit here, just because people are making a little bit of fun of it doesn't mean they don't respect him or his speech

[Crows90]

Thats the problem. There is no issue here and nobody is disrespecting his speech. This article is jut looking to attack the people at the game awards and anyone making memes.

[smashman98]

I voted for the guy and I disagree. The dude spent 9 minutes giving an acceptance speech. It felt like he had no regard for his fellow nominees.

[GamingSinceForever]

Huh?

[KillBill]

I think he was waiting for Atreus to give him a clue how to solve the puzzle of wrapping up his speech quickly and getting off stage.

[TheLigX]

Well said

[antikbaka]

i got tired forwarding it

[Aussiesummer]

the dude looked a bloody award all dressed in gold, TAAACKEEE. Yabbering on about himself for a month, talk about ego.

[jznrpg]

I love it . They told him you have this much time probably . And he said whatever this actually means something to me I’ll say what I want . Takes some balls

[StarkR3ality]

Love the man.

[DarthZoolu]

Bro wanted to tell the complete story of the universe

[hotnickles]

He used the GTFO music as background music for his speech lmao

[babadivad]

I didn't recognize him with the goofy hair.

[Orchard]

Do we? It was the most boring, most dragged out part of the show. He basically read a novel.

[shinoff2183]

Of course you would say that. Not surprised one bit you popped in to say something like that.

[Orchard]

Me and most of the viewers.

[DrDoomer]

Can't believe Al Pacino stood there on the side through the whole thing.

[banger88]

His speech dragged on longer than Ironwood.

[MeteorPanda]

he also preferred short sentences like Kratos. I loved it
