LOL. Industry journos? No your wrong. VGA was comprised of Industry analysts. People who have never played any of the games. The same people that said wii would not sell before it was released. LOL VGA gave awards to keep the piece. You call VGA reliable when they gave best PS3 game to LBP and best 360 to Gears 2 and PC was L4D. Yet none of those got GOTY, They gave it to GTA4. ^ That makes no sense. Surely GTA4 should have won Best game on all platforms if that was the case. VGA awards were PEACE keeping awards. LOL

No, it was full of talking marketing heads.
I'd be willing to be planning for the show went something like this:
Hey, Guitar Hero is popular, lets fill the show with bands on that game.
Also, people like hot girls so lets get a few models and pay them money to say they play games and people like that Kim Kardashian girl. She's classy. Lets give her an intelligent game to present and just have the other hot girls walk around without pants.
Hmm, and host. My son use to play Tony Hawk all the time in middle school so lets hope he's not busy. And, wait for it, Jack Black. The perfect pair!
And what's a popular game that all the kids are playing these days? People still like that Grand Theft Auto 3 right? Wait, what!? There's a fourth one!? There's our game of the year!
Now for the other awards, Johnson, get me some sticky notes and a dart board. The people will be so blown away by everything else there won't even be time to care about the awards.
This is going to be the best most extreme awards show ever.
That's exactly how it went.
