The Game Awards air today at 7:30 pm
EST. The good news is the recent
indication that this will not be a three-hour slog like last year. A
recent interview with Geoff Keighley indicates
he's aware that premieres and announcements drive interest in this event far
more than the awards, so hopefully the show will represent that. No drinking
game this year, it sounds like just downing a shot for
every reference to Geoff's "friend Hideo Kojima" would probably be enough to
give anyone alcohol poisoning.

I don't know much about Jennifer Lawrence outside her film roles. But it would seem she is typically American in knowing almost nothing about things which happened prior to when she became a teen. Slightly disappointing, but of little consequence to anyone except Lawrence.
She seems extremely obnoxious.
I am also confused with her making a big deal about being allegedly asked to lose weight for a character in a book called The Hunger Games where she is supposed to be emaciated I would imagine. I haven't read them but in the movie I think they were fighting so their district got food or something.
Now I understand that woman shouldn't be forced to lose weight for a role, but it seems different here and something not unexpected when it is a central theme of the film. Assuming it is safe and supervised.
