Gal Gadot, Brie Larson to Present at The Game Awards 2020

Gal Gadot <3 sexyyyyy.

It becoming the Oscars lol. Tom Holland i can understand due to the Uncharted connection and guaranteed trailer. But some of the other actors seem pointless. Why not have devs or gamers give the awards. All the razzmatazz is taking away from what the show should be imo.

@ORO_ERICIUS Let's not do this.

I'll just watch the trailers after then. I find Brie insufferable.

Well now that gal gadot is presenting I suppose I'm forced to watch...

Very cool to see some big names involved, definitely adds to the glitz and glamour of the event. Looking forward to it! Just have to avoid all the mindless drivel from toxic gamers commenting on the announcements on Twitter. Sigh.

Adding celebrities unnecessarily to everything looks like a trend
Keanu in cyberpunk, Travis and others in PS5 campaign and now this

Wonder woman gal yes 👍
Cheesy Brie meh

@oldschool1987 You are not alone.

@L3GTRIGA TBH more and more celebrities added to stuff are actual lifetime gamers. Henry cavil, brie larson, tom holland etc are all known to be gamers and have been since their youth.

EDIT: henry cavil is known to be a PC gamer and pc elitist. Brie larson is known to be a nintendo fangirl and very active on the switch. Tom holland is a late millenial bordering gen Z so him being a gamer shouldn’t even be weird.

Let's not forget that the video games industry is worth more than the music and film industry combined it was only a matter of time before celebrities want a slice of this pie too! It is a shame as there are many celebrities who are genuine gamers, the impact of sports & movie stars pushing games like Fortnight have undoubtedly added to their value as some kids/adults just want to do what ever their heroes do and end up buying something they may never have had any interest in otherwise!

Gal Gadot - SCHWIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!

@Mostik Most game devs are gamers too

Get that guy from "F the Oscars". He is insufferable, but it would surely lead to some funny situations.

@Octane Very good point mate, I agree 100%, as gamers ourselves we would definitely prefer to see devs giving out these awards or as you say someone at least a bit entertaining. Problem is part time gamers or mobile gamers have probably never heard of Kojima, Miyamoto, Barlog or Shafer etc.

I just think the marketers want to attract new customers which no doubt they will do with a celeb who is popular and sites like twitter/tiktok. Us 'proper' gamers are going to watch it regardless even if it is just the highlights.

Why is this streaming the same day Cyberpunk is coming out?

@RudeAnimat0r The Game Awards was always going to take place on 10th December. It's Cyberpunk 2077 that delayed itself to the same day.

@RudeAnimat0r @LiamCroft

GAME AWARD! 😱 Makes sense now!

Just because Brie is gonna be there, it tells us that TLOU Part II is gonna win a TON of awards

But will the Schick Hydrobot make its grand return!?!?!?

@Jayslow Let's hope so!

I remember last year when there was a out of nowhere birds of prey trailer that had nothing to do with anything. now that's gonna be even longer with wonder woman there just gonna promote that film for even longer. It has nothing to with games it's only there cause Warner Bros have big say at the game for some reason.

Brie I kinda understand, but why Gal Gadot?
I honestly would prefer that people from the industry would present the awards.
Stick to the games, Geoff.

@Athrum I agree. she's only there to promote wonder woman (which is out the same month) Warner Bros have big say over the game awards (for some reason) and are just there to promote there movies, even tho it has nothing to do with games. warner Bros are legit ruining the game awards with this stuff.

@LiamCroft they should delay out of courtesy!!

@Kirbyboy92 Warner Bros are to blame imo

@Kirbyboy92 your gonna blame the guy that just hosts it??? And not the company that has huge influence over it. There's a reason it's wonder woman and not just any random celebrity.

Oh no not a Brie Larson article, it’s NLife all over again 😉

I’m pleased to announce that I have never heard of either of these people.

@RudeAnimat0r Would you rather watch the game awards or play Cyberpunk?

Why?

I rather have someone from the teams that made the games present the awards. Sure someone can do this

@JJ2 yah I could careless about brie to be honest. I cannot stand her.

Brie Larson a good reason to completely avoid them then. How do you make a garbage show worse, add Brie.

@darkswabber "Henry Cavil"

Is he going to be there? Hadn't seen that but it makes sense since he plays Geralt in The Witcher on Netflix and he may currently be filming season 2. Don't get much bigger of a video game than The Witcher 3.

@RudeAnimat0r "Why is this streaming the same day Cyberpunk is coming out?"

Also the first night of Hanukkah. We have candles to light, latkes to eat, presents to unwrap, dreidels to spin. Imagine if they put this on Christmas morning? But First night of Hanukkah, not a peep. And before you say 'Who cares?" keep in mind Gal Gadot is Jewish. Israeli served in the IDF Jewish.

@Agramonte "Why?"

In case that wasn't a rhetorical question, ratings. Nobody is selling ads during a show w/o celebrities. And I've watched the show for several years, and yes there are commercials. But you probably already knew that.

@nessisonett "Oh no not a Brie Larson article, it’s NLife all over again 😉"

You want fun? My tweet last night before going to bed upon hearing the Brie news. You can imagine what my inbox looked like when I woke up. 🤣

"Brie is great, but I'm hoping they get Elliot Page to present the award to the TLOU2 after they sued for having their image used in the original game."

@Inosuke72 Warner Bros has at least 2 new games coming out next year why is this such a problem!?!

@rjejr It’s the mental ones who seemingly have it in for any celebrity that isn’t ‘hot’ in generic terms who make the word ‘gamer’ a dirty word. I can see there’s already ones going for Brie here but at least it’ll never be as bad as the 200+ comment madness that is NLife.

GAME? Awards...
Forget that, let's full the show with irrelevant movie stars.

@TG16_IS_BAE I'd rather not make such an impossible choice, it's too painful.

@2cents wdym, why is this a problem? is one of those games wonder woman 1984??? No, so don't put her as a main presenter of the game awards, and show a bunch of trailers for that movie during it

@nessisonett I've never crunched the numbers but I'd say the ratio of comments in general between NL and PS is like 5-1. Some articles hit the 500 comment mark when things go nutty but in my head the average is like 100 on NL and 20 on PS. NL I think also has a lot of weird 3 comment articles on things like AC amiibo cards that PS never has to deal with. I think this group also tends to run older, as they eat up and spit out anyone younger. I'm surprised you've lasted this long. (I actually always thought you were much older, kinda shocked when you mentioned your age recently.)

Did NL have a Brie article? They kind of skip the whole GA entirely over there. 🤷‍♂️

@RudeAnimat0r hahah got me : )

@rjejr Yeah, they had another Brie article last week or the week before that but I was banned during the obvious fighting so couldn’t join in unfortunately 😂

This is the game awards. Not the oscars. Youd think they would maybe get some gaming voice actors to host or something. Whatevs. I just hope the premieres will be good

@nessisonett What the heck did you get banned for? I can't recall you ever being that way and I see a lot of posts from you both here and there. Though a couple more of these posts and we're both going to be banned for being off topic and derailing the thread. 😂

@rjejr Hahaha nothing much, just accidentally baited some people who seem to get triggered by anyone calling out white supremacists. So an average day on NLife. This site’s way more chill to be honest!

Eeww, now we're taking movie stars and cramming them into gaming environments simply for star power to the masses? This is the beginning of the end of gaming as we know it. I haven't cared about a thing Hollywood puts out in probably 15 years, and my biggest complaint with Naughty Dog's and some other Sony made games is they increasingly take far too many cues from Hollywood - something I actively avoid by gaming instead. Celebrity culture turns me off just about every aspect of media expect gaming. Until now. Keanu, ok, cool, he's in a game. Holland....sort of ok, he's staring in a movie based on the game, so yay corporate synergy? Larson....does marketing contracts with Nintendo.....I guess....that counts? Ish? Gadot.....I guess gets mentioned on reddit a lot? How does that make sense.

"Welcome to The Game Awards 2025, Starring: Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Miley Cyrus, Ice T, and the cast of Disney's Frozen! Featuring music by: Imagine Dragons, Barbara Streisand, and a special performance by Rebecca Black! The Game Awards 2025 is brought to you by Sony Corporation, Razer Gaming, and Monster Energy."

@NEStalgia I'll take the legit celebrities over all of the social media influencers any day. Let's face it, nobody, and I mean nobody, cares about the awards, even half of the categories are for stupid things nobody cares about, like best eSports sponsor or some such drivel. And half of the games that win people are like "never heard of it". We all just watch for the new game announcements and trailer. And we can watch them on Yotube so TGA doesn't really need to even exist. But Keighly needs to get paid, and he gets paid from advertisers, and advertisers want eyeballs, and the best way to get eyeballs is w/ celebrities.

So yeah, give me Brie and Gal, just keep your Tiktokers out of my face. If I wanted to see them I'd get a Tiktok account. Oh, and in 5 years in will all just be K-pop bands and their fans anyway. On all of social media. Everybody else will be on Parler.

@nessisonett Ah baiting. Yeah, that will do it. I just try to keep my head down these days.

@rjejr LOL, well I can't argue that one.

Though you did give me a new uncensorable dirty word. Tock you! You ticking Ticktocker!" That's worth it.

Heh, at the risk of going hipster, I liked K-Pop before it was cool.....but everyone I actually liked is now aged out and nobody's ever actually heard of them. And the new stuff just sounds like American music. Much of it is American produced. We just rent performers from Korea now....it's not really Korean at all. The old stuff was good. The new stuff is churned out of a vocificator, which is precisely why I was seeking their (old) music to get away from that tripe in our music back in the day . Ugh! I hate media.

@NEStalgia So... K-pop is the new auto-tune?

Tok off!!

after the condescending nonsense, during lockdown no thanks Gadot & Brie no thanks.

@nessisonett take a day off from your faux moral outrage.

Everyone to you is a white supremacist. You throw around the "racist" label like it's nothing.

@oldschool1987 I’m not sure what else you’d call people who use the words ‘monkey looters’.

@nessisonett sounds like in that instance you'd be correct then, and those guys should be trolled. But you tried called me racist once just for disagreeing with you. You abuse that label.

Why is the wonder woman actress even here??? She has nothing to do with video games. f this award show

Brie Larson lol talk about not knowing your audience.

Brie Larson youtube channel is a gift that keeps on giving. So bad.

@rjejr Pesky advertisers! now I have someone to blame. Hey, so we survived the Militias and anarchist!

Dumpster is out to sea.,, I think.

Seeing all these negative comments about Brie Larson, are they, like, personal attacks, or something. 😉

@Salt_AU Thanks.

@Agramonte "Dumpster is out to sea.,, I think."

Yeah, but it isn't over yet, not even close I'm afraid. People are just distracted from all the hospitalizations and dieing to realize the coup is still ongoing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/politics/congress-republicans-trump-election-claims/

As far as actors go, unless you are playing a character that has a successful video game series (Henry Cavill) or playing a video game character (Keanu Reeves) I feel your presence at a video game awards event will be jarring and distracting.

Watch the Game awards or Play Cyberpunk 2077. Easy choice right? The vast majority of the gaming public don't care what a small percentage of voters subjective views on "The best game in X Genre" are etc. I might have watched it to see the announcement trailer for Persona 5 Strikers, but that's coming on the 8th and anything else will be on YouTube straight after its been broadcast.
