---

Where does 'Keighleys' come from? Curious because my hometown in England is called Keighley and it's not a big place

Geoff Keighley the Dewrito Pope is the man who has been behind these awards for years and he also hosts them

you may also see him occasionally antagonize Reggie Fils-Aime or wish he was Kojima's waifu

Really just want not Zelda to win GotY and Night in the Woods to win Indie Game and Games for Impact

I'm pretty fine with whatever else
---

Bane the hater
---

Did PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds come out in time to qualify? I remember there was some controversy over its nomination.
---

it's up for several awards so I assume yes
---

(even though it's technically not "out" until Tuesday)
---

Really just want not Zelda to win GotY

sorry bane
---

hey now Mario has a shot
---

it is starting yay
---

ok does it really need a pre-show interview? like shouldn't this have been done BEFORE the show's start time?
---

Yea this is going on a bit long

Also I forgot PUBG was nommed for GotY so not zelda or that
---

Bane

PUBG is a good game worthy of GotY nomination
---

Geoff Keighley always looks buzzed and sad
---

oh apparently this is the pre-show, the actual show isn't until 9

why the hell did they list the start time as 8:30 then
---

it's just like sports
---

"don't miss the final 5 minutes of the preshow"
---

also World War Z: The Game
---

Oh shit the Doc is there!

Deserved win.
---

I have no idea who these people are.

Glad they're getting the shit awards out of the way in the preshow.
---

Dr. Disrespect deserved that win he's amazing shame on you @LapisLazuli

watch Best Chinese Game get the main spot just before Game of the Year
---

Ashly Burch as Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn
Brian Bloom as B.J. Blazkowicz in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Claudia Black as Chloe Frazer in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Laura Bailey as Nadine Ross in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Melina Juergens as Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

How did Bailey even get nominated for this? I thought she was pretty bland as Nadine.

Claudia Black was good as always though!

Is this the same thing as Hollywood where everyone mentions/features China really prominently so they make a shitload of money?
---

Yay Nier
---

NieR Automata very deserving for best music
---

In a world where Danganronpa V3 could never be nommed for best music, Nier is a good winner.
---

Can someone post the winners, I can't watch it right now...
---

wat
---

I have a new PSVR game to get
---

I like what I'm seeing, but...franchise? What the hell is this?
---

Nier better sweep all other awards its up for after this egregious snub from game of the year voting
---

"don't miss the final 5 minutes of the preshow"

I didn't miss it. I'm not sure I made the right play.
---

oh is this game some sort of reference that I do not get
---

Sounds like Silent Hills is happening.
---

They just announced like 5 winners in 30 seconds.
---

Whaaaaa

HOLLLD UP!
