What I'm finding based upon the responses so far kind of confirms what I've been thinking this whole time - TGA aren't special without both of its slightly clashing elements. Many are pointing out that the ads are essential for revenue, eyes on the screen, and entertainment value - absolutely correct. Others are showing frustration with how passed over the awards (its namesake after all) feel. Can't say I disagree there either.
I think finding the right balance to serve both masters is key - splitting the awards and the trailers completely separate the already polarized opinions on this but we're all watching together if the balance can be struck before Geoff alienates either side of the argument.
@pudking: It is pretty disingenuous and dismissive of the work putting this all together to assume they are coming up with pun titles with shows to fit them. They may not be what you’re interested in, that’s fine, but there’s no need to assume the worst prior to even seeing any of the content. I, for one, am excited for each of the 3 projects - especially Borne to Run.
