No, this experience won't be available on old reddit.

But we'll be able to moderate the awards on old.reddit, right?
They'll show up in the modqueue for us to action as necessary, as you mention in other replies?
If you're creating a situation where moderating on old.reddit is no longer possible, that breaks a promise that's been made to us since the beta-testing for new.reddit...

If I can't view awards on old reddit then I can not moderate awards.
And that means that trolling and harassment will happen and I will not have the capacity to be aware of it in time.

But a problem with that is the awards given--that I bought with my real money--do not show on the post on old reddit either. Will the recipient at least still get a mail notification that someone gave him an award? I mean, will he still get all the relevant information about the award even he flat out refuses to use New Reddit? As a mod, I am less likely to buy awards to give to someone that I do not know is using new reddit.
EDIT: also, the awards I just gave to a comment and a post are not showing on desktop version of new Reddit. It's only showing on mobile. Limiting the number of users who see the award I give gives me another thing to think about before deciding to spend money to buy more.

Wouldn't it be relatively simple since the old award system worked there? Could it not be turned on again? Granted I don't know the underlying architecture, but it'd be practical since you'd want as many users seeing them and using them as possible.

It would be good to have the old gold awards visible on old reddit again. I guess you won't be doing that either.
Awards need to be expressive
I guess this is probably coming from your newer demographic of users. Definitely not from longer-time users like me who were fine with just gold being gold and have never been interested in the random, animated stuff.

This is disappointing considering awards used to be on old Reddit. I likely won’t use this feature much

Then we can disable it entirely for our subreddits, yes?
Edit: Apparently not:
###Can communities opt-out of awards?
Communities can’t opt-out of awards. All eligible communities will have awards.
