    Sorry for the lack of uploads I was getting milk. I spent the last 12 hours editing this to get it out as soon as I could so I hope you enjoy! 🦆
    I also have another channel where I upload regular slop if you're interested www.youtube.com/@DolanDarkest
    Edit: Also apologies for the loud intro/outro music, I was unfortunately copyright claimed for using 4 seconds of a song so I had to replace the audio using the UA-camr Editor

    Imo all these ads, trailers and stuff should happen separately to the awards themselves. Most people that I know were watching the show don't even remember them properly because they wanted to see the awards so bad.
