I watch this show more because of the World Premieres than the awards itself.

This was me in the past, nowadays I dont even watch them, just wait for the content drops on news sites like Gematsu.

Yep, even then, those said announcements might pan out not being much to general audience watching this show.

Though, part of the distaste I've got for it personally is it's entertainment value overall.

If anyone recalls last year show, not only was it paced horribly between the diverse, the awards sections that were given next to no screentime or due celebration on stage, underwhelming "World Premiere" announcements, etc ... but most were also kinda floored but how much ads were included in the run time. 

If I remember the show lasted for about more than 2 n' half  but I can tell you it felt agonizingly worse in length.

In trying to chase, the Oscar-esque hollywoodian format of these awards type shows, I think the TGA's lost a lot of it's early amateurish spirit that was just plain more interesting to look at.
