The Game Awards attendee arrested after invading the stage

An attendee at The Game Awards 2022 has been arrested after gaining access to the stage during the show’s finale.

After Elden Ring won the coveted Game Of The Year award, the unnamed individual appeared to walk onstage alongside the game’s director Hidetaka Miyazaki and stayed behind him while he gave his acceptance speech.

Once Miyazaki concluded his speech, the person approached the microphone and said: “I want to thank everybody and say that I think I want to nominate this award to my Reformed Orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton.”

Shortly afterwards, a number of people are seen approaching the stage. The show’s host Geoff Keighley, who appeared flustered, is then shown as he wraps up the ceremony.
