His speech at The Game Awards after accepting the award may be the longest he’s ever made in the category.
First of all, it’s worth clarifying who exactly Christopher Judge is. Well, we could hear his voice in God of War, released for PlayStation 4 in 2018, and in the sequel, God of War: Ragnarök, released in November for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, the actor, who is Hungarian in relation to science fiction series fan, he may be known as Teal’c, because he played him in Stargate SG-1.
When Judge took the microphone, what he had to say might seem long, but he recalls that he spoke at a slow pace and often paused long between lines of thought. He reached out to his family, his friends and, by definition, Sony Santa Monica Studio, the developers of the game. So it’s a typical speech, which turned out to be surprisingly long thanks to the slower presentation (if the speech was improvised, it’s still understandable, but if not, it’s really complicated, what did the judge do).
AT game prizes Chirpingaccount (most likely handled by the show’s producer and host Geoff Keighley) wrote: “Let’s leave it to Kratos to set a world record. The longest award acceptance speech in history was given by actress Greer Garson at the 1942 Academy Awards, where she spoke for five minutes and thirty seconds. Christopher Judge’s speech at The Game Awards lasted seven minutes and fifty-nine seconds. It’s time to call the Guinness Book of Records!
Compared to five and a half minutes, eight minutes turn out to be almost one and a half times longer, but Garson recounted what he felt in a different era (moreover, right in the middle of the Second World War, but not in an area operationally interested!). In any case, Judge’s results shouldn’t be underestimated, but then the actor shouldn’t start a trend, because if we listen to ten-minute monologues (especially at night due to time zone differences!), it can be boring.
The Guinness Book of Records has not yet responded to The Game Awards’ request.
