Well, it's not like they're just games, despite the name. They are meant for enjoyment, but they have gone into a realm where there is much more to be respected about a game than just "fun", similarly to movies. So if movies get award ceremonies, why not video games?

Because movies don't need award ceremonies, either. >_>

It's just a big waste of money to give certain people who happened to be good at directing a nice feeling. But I'm sure their money already did that. <_<
