@tvaziri that's on brand Shatner which I don't mind much. But yeah, when it was announced, what was the VES thinking? At this point the awards seem to just be an excuse ti see which celebrities and famous people they can bring in

@malducin @tvaziri most festivals rely on invited famous people to gather interest from the public. At the same time famous people rely on any kind of scandal or gossip they get from festivals. Both need each other.
