Luke Skywalker aka Mark Hamill attended the VGA's and did not approve

I was hopeful for this year’s VGA’s. Why? Well, like the SEGA fans who constantly fell prey to the Sonic cycle, I seemed to believe that Geoff Keighley has always wanted to do the right thing — that he was simply biding his time until the show garnered enough of an audience, and then he would one year lift the veil, poof some magic fairy dust, and give us the ritzy, glamerous award show we’ve always wanted. But nope. No, no no, far from it.

For all the “right” things that the 2011 VGA’s did (and yes, there were some pretty good, if not great moments this year), it took one step forward and unfortunately took three huge leaps back. So much so, that one of the nominee’s, Mark Hamill, who voiced the Joker in Batman: Arkham City was baffled as to why the show was more an extended commercial rather than an actual awards show. 

In a few tweets written off by both Mark and his compadre in crime, Tara Strong, who voiced Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City, they ripped into the VGA’s for not presenting the award for which Hamill was nominated in.

And as Tara pointed out, on top of not even being given any credit for being nominated, the two were invited all the way down to attend the show only to be given seats in the nosebleed section, as seen below:

Okay, okay, so while they weren’t necessarily away from the show, they most certainly weren’t counted amongst the VIP’s who got to sit at the snazzy dinner tables alongside angry, VGA hater, Black Baron.
