The Oscars are a complete joke by anyone who knows how they work. If they're so respected than why did someone like Miyazaki not even bother attending the ceromony in the year he won the Oscar for best animated movie? 

Gaming journalism is quite a few levels below movie journalism even. It's why we have universally hated games like GTA IV with a metacritic score of 98%. 

Journey isn't a first party game anyway (and it certainly doesn't deserve any GOTY awards).

He also said he doesn't rate the Oscars. 

Here's what he said why he came to the Oscars in 2014:

"I figure Lasseter is the reason I got the award. This was sort of an order from my good friend John Lasseter, that I had to go to America to receive the award. I said 'Yes sir, I'll go. He promised me that I could drive his model train after the ceremony. That's what I'm looking forward to."

He was more interested in driving a model train than the Oscars, that says all you need to know. 

He also dissed the USA and 3D animated movies during his acceptance speech, lol.
