It's that time of year to pick on the Dorito Pope!

It's not really picking if it's deserved criticism for Dorito Pope and his awards show xD
Every year I see all kind of sketchy choices with his show, from missing several categories that should be there (such as per Platform Awards and Best Supporting Performance), to only weighting user vote at 10% to the critics 90%, to poor cutoff dates and poor nominating of good games that missed the cutoff the previous year, to doing 6 nominations for some categories but only 5 for others just to purposefully snub a game, to relegating whole awards to just reading winners off a list instead of giving proper nominee introductions with short video clips and announcing the winner live (just to stuff more ad breaks into his show), to just poor nominating choices in general each year.
It's a good show for announcements and trailers, but the actual awards part of his awards show is severely lacking. I'm just glad that there are so many alternative gaming awards where developers can get proper recognition for their hard work, such as the Golden Joysticks, DICE Awards, Game Developers Choice Awards, BAFTA Awards, SXSX Awards, and Titanium Awards.
