His performance as literally a child was already great and now he did even better. If Sunny plays his cards right he can go from these two massively successful games into being the main character in others, perhaps even an Atreus only game, hope he keeps doing well!
Ever since God of War won Game of the year back in 2018 it has gotten me to tryout the game itself, it was incredible and I completed the game twice, it has made me a God of War Fan and now I got God of War Ragnarok on the PS5, I'm so looking to play it during my Christmas break.
I think that's what make it more awesome... If you haven't watch Stargate SG1 you should watch it because he does an amazing performance there as well... I think they picked the perfect guy for the role
@@StonedxDragon He definitely favorite character in that Tv Series! He should definitely have gotten more acting roles and or voice acting jobs his voice is so Iconic!
It took really long cuz he used to believe that video game voice acting is where washed up screen actors end up. It's the reason why he said if he knew beforehand that the script he was given is for a video game, he'd have vehemently refused.
Not video game voice actor. JUST video game actor. They do more than record lines on booths. They act while wearing mocap suits. There's a reason why these actors get annoyed when people call them voice actors. Or is Andy Serkis a voice actor too?
@@Incog2k6 He can be a voice actor and be happy with that. I get annoyed when actors think how they are perceived matters to anyone. As if they matter more then my last BM.
He deserves it, its easy with a booming deep voice to be all rawrg and angry. He brought so much extra depth and emotion to Kratos, so many moments that stand out. The desperation, the hope, the fear, the want. Outstanding performance. So glad we live in an age now where voice actors and acting in video games is getting recognition.
@@denzelrn8677 Yea but he got the award for his performance so... Like it's fair that they deserve recognition for their efforts to make such a beautiful game, but that isn't really related to this award
The fact that Judge went through heavy surgery during production and they even delayed the game just to let him recover makes this victory even greater. I really love Judge's love and trust for Barlog, and how he addressed that story that he was initially willing to leave if Barlog wasn't cool with Williams taking over.
@@lovedeepsandhu8502 I mean the story was already done and Cory was a main part of it. I trust his judgment in directors and storytelling, the game is a worthy continuation and I hope Santa Monica gives us beautiful stories like this in the future 🙏
All of the scenes where Kratos let's his emotion out in Ragnarok never fail to make me cry. That's all I need to say. Judge isn't just a cool, funny dude with a badass deep voice. He's a phenomenal actor.
Christopher Judge did what I would have thought was impossible a decade ago: depict a Kratos on the verge of tears and making me think "damn, that's a real man there."
@@Tenchigumi Honestly. And that's what I love about this game's story and acting. Kratos in the Greek days was an objectively evil man. His actions- no matter the reason or intention, got thousands of innocent people killed. Possibly millions. Yet these games do such a good job of humanising him and actually making you feel sympathetic towards him.
Haha I'm pretty sure that's the subtle way to tell them to wrap up the speech but our man just kept going and it turned into his soundtrack. If you notice on every other speech they end soon after the music starts.
No one is commenting that this speech is a world record of a longest acceptance speech since Oscars in 1943. Good job and thank you very much Christopher Judge!
When he talked about how videogames got people through a tough time at the end it showed how passionate he is about his work and how he sees the bigger picture in what he's doing. What an awesome guy.
He absolutely deserved all the time for his speech. He had to get both hips replaced, a leg surgery, and a back surgery. Ragnarok was almost canceled because of his health but he pulled through and gave the performance of a lifetime.
Good on them letting him have the stage uninterrupted. Mr. Judge seems like a man that has used every moment in life as a learning lesson. What a franchise.
Kratos, the picture of masculinity, slowly learning to open his heart and let out his emotions was an extremely tough character arc to sell, but Christopher Judge pulled it off brilliantly. Well deserved
@@navdeepsingh3508 *I Bet You'll Miss Your Younger Self When You Were More Wild And Angry, Now You're Just Going To Get As Relaxed And More Calm As Current Kratos As You Age, Because That's Just How Life Is Man.*
You only get this moment ONCE in life. That turning point where you fought your whole life to be something. Then it happens... And now you have a chance to say how you feel - after everything you suffered through.. to finally BE something. Your second award's speech can never re-capture that. To me, this is the most natural response to such a pivotal moment.
@@kibbylol If you thought he was too Stoic in Ragnarök, I really don't know what to tell you... Kratos showed so much emotion in the game that at points he looked and sounded like a completely different character. Chris Judge showed that change very elegantly.
This man made my childhood playing as Teal'c in stargate. Now he’s carrying my adult years as Kratos. Thank you Chris for all the hard work and memories.
omg it's the dude from stargate with the metal in his forehead! I saw like 3 episodes of stargate and a million commericals for it and always wondered why he had that stuff in his head!
@dudeBro but what is the metal in his head for? as a kid i thought it was at first was battle shrapnel but i think someone told me it's a religious symbol? idk
@@thatfatguy7591 its the branded symbol of the “god” apophis that he served as first prime(leader) of the jaffa(warriors) Give it a watch. Its good fun.
The connection between Christopher and Sunny are honestly the cutest father/son relationship I’ve ever seen between actors in a long time 🥰🥺 they’re both so proud of each other
That chemistry between them is what made the acting so good and the games so good too. You can tell they really play off each others acting ability and work well together
@@realzxzx It’s fine to be disappointed with not winning something, I’d be disappointed too. But I’m like 99% sure he was still happy Christopher won. He just wasn’t smiling throughout the entire speech.
I love this, cause back in the day during the star gate days Christopher judge said he idolized al pacino as an actor, so for him to be awarded the best performance for such an emotional performance by the man he idolizes is absolutely amazing and i'm so happy for him. He absolutely earned this one, glad to see him getting ghe credit he deserves cause he's a bloody good actor and until now no one gave him the credit he deserved, so it makes me happy seeing this cause he played one of my favorite characters growing up in teal'c from star gate.
thats great to hear, I'm a big fan of Star Gate SG-1 too, used to always watch it with my grandma who passed away now, whenever I rewatch the show I remember the good old times, we used to love Teal'c he played the role so well, very special kind of role
Christopher is one of the most underrated actors of the last twenty years, he deserves this award! He was one of the biggest driving forces behind Stargate, not only for truly realistic performance of someone who has to not only stay himself but learn a whole new world and culture, he also did a ton of work behind the scenes. I'm a fan for life, congratulations Mr. Judge you deserve it!
@@carlosvarona220he was so good in Stargate. Should have won an award for that performance as well. We probably would have had the show been more mainstream. & less conspiracy theory/sci fi/aliens But I wouldn’t have liked it as much if they did that so I’m glad they didn’t, just sad they didn’t recognize his outstanding performance/contribution to Stargate sg1. Richard Anderson also did a heck of job. His little random & clever jokes here & there throughout the series really helped to spice up the show & make it much more entertaining to watch. Anderson & Judge imo brought the most entertainment potential to the show with Anderson/O’Neil bringing in some much needed humor/spice to the series & Judge/teal’c barely talking but when he did it was always something funny & short & his “indeed” & eyebrow raising when O’Neil was doing some questionable action. Shit had me dead. Tapping/Sam carter & Shanks/ Daniel Jackson were both solid /good additions that when combined with the other two, they made a pretty great 4 person core/team/roster of lead actors. Many of the supporting actors were good to, I liked Davis/Hammond a lot, I like whoever plays Vala a lot too. Hewlett I have mixed emotions about, he might be a good actor but something about his character I just hated on both SG1 & Atlantis. He (Hewlett’s character McKay,) was so big-headed, egotistical, cocky, selfish, arrogant, petty, childish, immature, & many times just straight up annoying.
Having him and Sunny be nominated together and just him earning the award is just extraordinary. I just finished the game myself, and both of them performed wonderfully. Their voice acting and the story of Ragnarok tied it all together and made it one of my favorite game series of all time. Congrats, to Christopher, he deserves it! 👏
not just the voice acting, they did all of the body movements for the characters as well with mo-cap. :) when he started talking about Sunny at the end was so heartwarming
It should’ve won game of the year to ER doesn’t have a fucking story to it. If it does it’s you have to puzzle it together I , especially no game of the year you shouldnt have the puzzle a story together to understand it. Fuck that God of war was completely 150% robbed of this.
TC Carson was the voice I always remember for Kratos. I'll always remember the rage filled yells he gave. But the instant I heard Christopher Judge's version, I felt it was perfect for the older Kratos who was done with his vengeance, done with war and fighting. A Kratos who just wanted to be left alone with his family. He deserves this and so much more
@@disgaealikerasapOG Carson mentioned he didn't get the role because his physique needed for mocap didn't match older Kratos as opposed to Judge. They're both awesome actors though. TC Carson played an amazing younger Kratos, and if it was just the voice could have encompassed an awesome older Kratos as well.
Krato’s journey has been so emotional and Chris taking on the role after the third game is such a big undertaking and he does it brilliantly. The coolest voice in gaming today
Still my favourite video game director of all time (despite me not caring for Death Stranding personally) but he's got too much of a hard on for Hollywood actors :/
He nailed it! Actually, the game had a LOT of stellar work on it. Hoping to see more of the newer voice actors too (e.g., SungWon Cho) because everyone in that game did a fantastic job and I hope they all find success going forward.
I’m really proud of Christopher Judge, he’s always been an excellent performer and extremely talented actor, it’s taken excellent work since the mid 90s for anyone to notice. Better late than never, but this man has been showing his top-tier talent since even season one of an old show called Stargate SG-1.
I love Christopher Judge so much. Ragnarok is one of my all-time favorite games, and Judge not only knocks it out of the park as Kratos, but he just seems like such a good dude.
I haven't finished the game, but from my experience in God of War 4 and Ragnarok I had no doubt that he would at least be on the top nominated. The amount of dialogue there is all written so well with so much passion in there voices is so good
You know you were damn good when Pacino is congratulating you on your acting. Congratulations Christopher, and thank you for your god tier performance!
What's even crazier is that i just found out Chris Judge also voices D Mob from Def Jam Fight 4 NY. From Stargate to GOW.Chris deserves all the respect for all that he's accomplished.
Saw Judge recently in Dark Knight Rises as one of Bane’s henchmen 🤣 he actually gets a big part in a scene near the end where he beats up the ‘Robin’ character in that movie
@@chrisandreas3142 i agree with you. Dont understand whats wrong with all these fanboys, the story and combat system is worse than gow 2018. The story is so fkinh trash and the failed over dramatic scenes does not make it any better. I hate gow ragnarok and i dont like gow 2018 but I love all gow og.
I think it's more than just voice acting. This game shows a story that is just as true in real life as it is fictional. It depicts a story between a father and a son. Seeing those characters grow and developpe into something ''better'' is amazing in a lot of ways. It's inspiring to say the least. I think what Christopher is feeling is totally appreciated. He seems grateful to be a part of something great that the fans can not only relate to, but actually experience it. I feel like not a lot of things are allowing this type interaction. It must be truly a blessing to be in that position.
I never cared about these award shows but I just had to go and vote for this man after he got me bawling my eyes out with his performance. Absolutely well deserved.
Same, but it is heartwarming to see people in the industry being recognized like this. Im sure Al Pacino was just cashing a check, but having him give you that award and sincerely congratulate you is as meaningful as it gets.
@@kingc1331 a boring old man? This current kratos has so much more in depth writing than the past kratos, this current kratos has more knowledge, more relatability to fathers and older people, smarter, and is much more of a man than past kratos. Last kratos driven by pure rage and revenge was almost a 1D character if not for the fact he still had sadness and regret for killing his family, but he was much more quick to anger, and more easy to be deceived, if it involved his wife and daughter. It was almost not worth it seeing as your comment had to have been satire seeing as anyone with a brain would understand the superiority current kratos has over past kratos.
Kratos calling his son "boy" was such a meme in the first game, and in Ragnarok that's the ONLY time he does it. They saved it for the perfect dramatic moment, when their relationship was at their most strained
He deserved it so much, he put his heart and soul into this character, and made something iconic again. Congrats Christopher Judge and hope for many more great things in the future.
“My brother…. Who is my hero… At 40, changed his life and went to medical school, and is now Dr. Judge” So much power in those words… brought a tear to my eye and made me think of my own brother. So glad Chris won.
Imagine all the retakes. I do mocap and technical art degree for video games at uni and when I made my game trailer for second year the amount of retakes we had to do was hell because cameras can slightly go out of sync or the mocap data arm goes inside the belly. It is fun but at the same time it’s a nightmare 😅
@@rezadyn87 dude might be salty, but he aint wrong.. Love Judge, but when you havent prepared a speech - just thank your team that supported you to the top and get out. dont reach for something randomly poignant you cant remember.. @5:55 "and.. I will never forget.. oh.. I guess I can.." Glad he won tho, performance deserved it
Kratos wins as the best voice. Congrats to Christopher Judge. EDIT: Elden Ring won as GAME OF THE YEAR. Quantity over quality. Humanity is just like Zeus and Odin. At least God of War won more awards that that sleepy slug-fest.
The fact that Christopher won is already a great feeling in and of itself, but seeing him presented by the legendary Al Pacino himself gave it a whole new level of awesome for me.
I'm impressed with the humbleness that he expresses towards his dearest ones for their gratitude. RUclips addiction has fried my brain to the point I don't tend to watch videos more than 5 minutes but I'm moved upon hearing his speech. It's not always you come across this gem on the internet. Every moment of this video is beautiful.
@@zanderrobson6512 i broke up with my ex gf 6months ago, i was so devastated, i still miss her, after that relation i said to myself that i didnt want any more relationships, didnt want to met someone especial again. Kratos taught me that i dont have to close my hearth, i have to open it. Before that happended my dog died, in my arms just as fenrir died in athreus arms, i saw in her eyes how live left his body, i wish i had a kratos in that moment to told me that she was going to die bc she didnt want to eat just like fenrir but i didnt knew what was going on. When i saw it in the game i instanty knew that fenrir was going to die T-T
@@zanderrobson6512 no it’s about balance you have to know when to close off your heart to get things done and when to open it to give and receive love and compassion leaning to far towards ether side can be harmful but balancing them out and having the knowledge to know what situation requires which will bring you inner peace
When he told Atreus "If you're going to sail, don't sail away; sail _towards_ something," I immediately wrote that on my whiteboard as a daily reminder to do something for a purpose, rather than doing just to do.
For me it was the scene when he looked at his wife's son and said “ Slavery is bad”. I couldn't believe it. I walked towards my black board, across the remaining carcass of my mother, and wrote with my own tears and blood : “slavery BAD” as a daily reminder that slavery isn't a good thing, until another video game character says otherwise of course.
His line on 8:24 hitted me hard. As a gamer since being a kid, one of my dreams is to see my name on the end credits (until now) and be proud that I'm one of those of people who made something that was greatly appreciated by many.
"in your lifetimes has anyone ever worshiped you? Ever prayed to you? Can you even imagine that kind of love?" -Odin Mimir: "What did you see in there brother" "A path... One I had never imagined"
kratos: "i..............i saw myself" i got soo emotional seeing a broken god being praised by nine realms i had same reaction as kratos when it happened
Not played any of the games tbh, I remember him from Stargate, but he is lucky Red dead redemption 2 wasn't the same year as who ever did the voice for Arther Morgan would have won.
Damn, it's been a long time since I heard such a genuine and humble thank you speech. Been a fan of Christopher since Star Gate tv-series, so I'm really, really happy to see him getting this award.
I am absolutely happy Chris won it. He deserves it. Such down to earth guy. All that was missing him calling Sunny to stage with his iconic "BOY". I think that he should have shared the trophy with Sunny, he seemed kinda sad he didn't win and they both were integral for eachother's performance.
Can't get enough Christopher Judge. Such a humble man with an incredible acting talent. Watching some of his motion capture work you can see the emotion coming through in what he's doing.
The end of the game cemented him as Kratos in my mind. What a phenomenal performance, what an actor, and what a man. Congratulations, Christopher Judge.
@@freezalo7521 you must have been ignoring him this game I think. His voice change when he was angry and when he was sad broken was really good. He was definitely 2nd choice

Haha I'm pretty sure that's the subtle way to tell them to wrap up the speech but our man just kept going and it turned into his soundtrack. If you notice on every other speech they end soon after the music starts.

No one is commenting that this speech is a world record of a longest acceptance speech since Oscars in 1943. Good job and thank you very much Christopher Judge!

Even though he alluded to the exact opposite, saying he was about to turn down the job when he heard it was for a videogame.

It was so lovely
"Yeah you're not going away from my hug"
I was thinking the same thing al pacino is a legend
His smile when he hugged Al Pacino was so wholesome
Kratos, the picture of masculinity, slowly learning to open his heart and let out his emotions was an extremely tough character arc to sell, but Christopher Judge pulled it off brilliantly. Well deserved

People meme about the length of this speech, but I can tell he was truly passionate about the game and his job. Well deserved.
You only get this moment ONCE in life. That turning point where you fought your whole life to be something. Then it happens... And now you have a chance to say how you feel - after everything you suffered through.. to finally BE something. Your second award's speech can never re-capture that. To me, this is the most natural response to such a pivotal moment.

I love this, cause back in the day during the star gate days Christopher judge said he idolized al pacino as an actor, so for him to be awarded the best performance for such an emotional performance by the man he idolizes is absolutely amazing and i'm so happy for him. He absolutely earned this one, glad to see him getting ghe credit he deserves cause he's a bloody good actor and until now no one gave him the credit he deserved, so it makes me happy seeing this cause he played one of my favorite characters growing up in teal'c from star gate.
thats great to hear, I'm a big fan of Star Gate SG-1 too, used to always watch it with my grandma who passed away now, whenever I rewatch the show I remember the good old times, we used to love Teal'c he played the role so well, very special kind of role
Dude even got his theme playing, making it more badass
They tried to play him off with music but they didn’t realize that it would only make his speech that more epic 😅
Christopher is one of the most underrated actors of the last twenty years, he deserves this award! He was one of the biggest driving forces behind Stargate, not only for truly realistic performance of someone who has to not only stay himself but learn a whole new world and culture, he also did a ton of work behind the scenes. I'm a fan for life, congratulations Mr. Judge you deserve it!
Holy shit I totally forgot that he was in stargate
@@carlosvarona220 Bro how
Indeed!!!
@@carlosvarona220he was so good in Stargate. Should have won an award for that performance as well.
We probably would have had the show been more mainstream. & less conspiracy theory/sci fi/aliens
But I wouldn’t have liked it as much if they did that so I’m glad they didn’t, just sad they didn’t recognize his outstanding performance/contribution to Stargate sg1.
Richard Anderson also did a heck of job. His little random & clever jokes here & there throughout the series really helped to spice up the show & make it much more entertaining to watch. Anderson & Judge imo brought the most entertainment potential to the show with Anderson/O’Neil bringing in some much needed humor/spice to the series & Judge/teal’c barely talking but when he did it was always something funny & short & his “indeed” & eyebrow raising when O’Neil was doing some questionable action. Shit had me dead.
Tapping/Sam carter & Shanks/ Daniel Jackson were both solid /good additions that when combined with the other two, they made a pretty great 4 person core/team/roster of lead actors. Many of the supporting actors were good to, I liked Davis/Hammond a lot, I like whoever plays Vala a lot too. Hewlett I have mixed emotions about, he might be a good actor but something about his character I just hated on both SG1 & Atlantis. He (Hewlett’s character McKay,) was so big-headed, egotistical, cocky, selfish, arrogant, petty, childish, immature, & many times just straight up annoying.
Having him and Sunny be nominated together and just him earning the award is just extraordinary. I just finished the game myself, and both of them performed wonderfully. Their voice acting and the story of Ragnarok tied it all together and made it one of my favorite game series of all time. Congrats, to Christopher, he deserves it! 👏
not just the voice acting, they did all of the body movements for the characters as well with mo-cap. :) when he started talking about Sunny at the end was so heartwarming
It should’ve won game of the year to ER doesn’t have a fucking story to it. If it does it’s you have to puzzle it together I , especially no game of the year you shouldnt have the puzzle a story together to understand it. Fuck that God of war was completely 150% robbed of this.

A Kratos who just wanted to be left alone with his family. He deserves this and so much more
You speak as if carson can't act.
@@disgaealikerasapOGexactly. Carson could’ve done it too
@@disgaealikerasapOG Carson mentioned he didn't get the role because his physique needed for mocap didn't match older Kratos as opposed to Judge. They're both awesome actors though.

Carson voice is perfect for youngblood kratos
💯💯💯
I would've died if he'd come up there and grunted. 🤣 He has done wonders with Kratos and he definitely deserves this award.

I think it's more than just voice acting. This game shows a story that is just as true in real life as it is fictional. It depicts a story between a father and a son. Seeing those characters grow and developpe into something ''better'' is amazing in a lot of ways. It's inspiring to say the least. I think what Christopher is feeling is totally appreciated. He seems grateful to be a part of something great that the fans can not only relate to, but actually experience it. I feel like not a lot of things are allowing this type interaction. It must be truly a blessing to be in that position.
He literally played kratos.. that is him moving in that game every cut scene
COME ON, they do the motion capture and its mostly them acting in the cutscenes.
This guy gave one of the best videogame performances ever, period, especially Kratos' scenes with Atreus and Faye are excellent

@@kingc1331 a boring old man? This current kratos has so much more in depth writing than the past kratos, this current kratos has more knowledge, more relatability to fathers and older people, smarter, and is much more of a man than past kratos. Last kratos driven by pure rage and revenge was almost a 1D character if not for the fact he still had sadness and regret for killing his family, but he was much more quick to anger, and more easy to be deceived, if it involved his wife and daughter. It was almost not worth it seeing as your comment had to have been satire seeing as anyone with a brain would understand the superiority current kratos has over past kratos.

Gotta admit, Judge has definitely revolutionized acting in Mo-cap/voice-over. It's my dream job and I get chills watching his mocap work.
Imagine all the retakes. I do mocap and technical art degree for video games at uni and when I made my game trailer for second year the amount of retakes we had to do was hell because cameras can slightly go out of sync or the mocap data arm goes inside the belly. It is fun but at the same time it’s a nightmare 😅

When he told Atreus "If you're going to sail, don't sail away; sail _towards_ something," I immediately wrote that on my whiteboard as a daily reminder to do something for a purpose, rather than doing just to do.
For me it was the scene when he looked at his wife's son and said “ Slavery is bad”. I couldn't believe it. I walked towards my black board, across the remaining carcass of my mother, and wrote with my own tears and blood : “slavery BAD” as a daily reminder that slavery isn't a good thing, until another video game character says otherwise of course.
His line on 8:24 hitted me hard. As a gamer since being a kid, one of my dreams is to see my name on the end credits (until now) and be proud that I'm one of those of people who made something that was greatly appreciated by many.
