| 3 | The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony produced and hosted by Geoff Keighley in December celebrating the {{video game}} industry itself that is held every December. It is the successor to the Creator/{{Spike}} Video Game Awards (the VGX in its final year), which Keighley also hosted. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | With two exceptions, the awards ceremonies are held at the Creator/{{Peacock}} Theater[[note]]formerly the Nokia Theatre and then the Creator/{{Microsoft}} Theater[[/note]] in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles. The two exceptions are the inaugural ceremony in 2014, which was held at The AXIS (today Zappos Theater) in UsefulNotes/LasVegas, and 2020, which was held virtually due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. |

| 1605 | * Creator/ChristopherJudge gave an emotional eight-minute long speech for his Best Performance win, which was the first award given on-stage that night. |
| 1606 | * Musician Pedro Eustache's very enthusiastic musical performance during the Game of the Year medley, which saw him play multiple wind instruments throughout, became {{memetic|Mutation}}, with online viewers nicknaming him "Flute Guy". |
| 1607 | * The end of the ceremony became infamous when a 15-year-old prankster named Matan Even snuck onto the stage with the [=FromSoftware=] crew when they won the Game of the Year award, then after ''Elden Ring'' director Hidetaka Miyazaki gave his speech and the walk-off music began playing, Even made a brief yet bizarre speech saying, "I want to thank everybody and say I think I want to nominate this award to my Reformed Orthodox rabbi UsefulNotes/BillClinton."[[note]]In case you're wondering, Reform and Orthodox are separate denominations of UsefulNotes/{{Judaism}}, and Clinton himself is a Baptist, not Jewish.[[/note]] Although it happened at the end of the ceremony and Even was escorted by security, the interruption overshadowed the show itself. |

| 1871 | * This year's ceremony quickly ended up being one of the most roundly criticized ceremonies in the show's history, particularly towards its rushing of award winners' speeches (after Christopher Judge's eight-minute long speech the previous year) with "wrap-it-up" music playing after just 30 seconds and too much time dedicated towards announcements and celebrities. One particularly criticized instance regarding this was Creator/HideoKojima and Creator/JordanPeele being given at least six minutes to discuss their newly-announced and very early into production game ''OD'', whereas according to ''The Escapist''[='=]s [[https://www.escapistmagazine.com/the-game-awards-2023-live-results/ Liam Nolan]], the total amount of time overall that the award winners gave their speeches was less than 11 minutes. For his part, Keighley posted on Website/TwitterX the following the day that he agreed with this criticism, saying that he did try to tell the production crew to ease up on the strict enforcing of the time limit and said that he will address this at future ceremonies. |
| 1872 | * Speaking of Judge, several ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' developers criticized his joke where he claims that his 2022 speech was longer than ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfareIII''[='=]s single-player campaign. |
| 1873 | * The ceremony was also criticized for what it did ''not'' do, namely acknowledging the massive amount of developer layoffs that occurred throughout the industry during 2023 as profits plateaued after the sales boost resulting from the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic worn off and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, despite the Game Awards' Future Class recipients past and present sending an open letter to Geoff Keighley to acknowledge the latter. |
| 1874 | * The few positives the ceremony did receive was the musical performances. European folk music group Heilung performed "Seidh" from the upcoming ''VideoGame/SenuasSagaHellbladeII'', American singer Loren Allred performed "No Promises to Keep" from the upcoming ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth'' with the Game Awards Orchestra (again conducted by Lorne Balfe), and Finnish rock band Music/PoetsOfTheFall performed "Herald of Darkness" from ''VideoGame/AlanWakeII'' under the guise of their FakeBand the Old Gods of Asgard and were joined by Creator/DavidHarewood (who portrayed Mr. Door in the game), Creator/MatthewPorretta (Alan Wake's voice), Creator/IlkkaVilli (Wake's model), and even the game's director Sam Lake. And of course, "Flute Guy" Pedro Eustache was brought back to join the Game Awards Orchestra and was again energetically performing and switching between different flutes during the Game of the Year Medley, even using a big [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_contrabass_flute double contrabass flute]] at the end. |
