You know he just lost all of his fans who like TES more then him. Seriously they could have had a guest speaker who actually played the Elder Scrolls series comment on it afterwards. True game fans noticiced its crowning moment of awesomeness and that it is a memerable part of video game history. Still though, if you are going to get a celebrety speaker, get one who is into games not one who wants the cash and face-time.
I agree that the announcement came and went with little regard, but I care only because it was the crowning moment of the year, for me, and it was the only reason I was even watching the VGAs.
