What was the UK start time for The Game Awards?

The Game Awards 2022 UK start time was 12:30am Friday 9th December 2022. Anyone who wanted to watch the whole thing from start to finish had to stay up into the wee hours of 4am. Good thing those new trailers and reveals are available to watch at any time now.
