Complain all you want about the Game Awards. But Geoff Keighley is one of the best, most honest and unbiased gaming journalists out there. If you followed him from his GameTrailers days, he was absolutely fucking excellent at interviewing gaming execs and personalities.
Geoff was one of the only ones who would ask the tough questions, unfiltered, that gamers wanted to know, and not in a douchey way. Compare him with the tribalistic fake journos today, who all fit neatly within their biased camps, catering to their specific platform audience and doing nothing but sucking the dick of the gaming execs and personalities they interview... it's fucking night and day.
