Hard to believe, but true. The flood of trailers and announcements at the Game Awards almost drowned out the fact that prizes were also awarded there. We have the list of winners for you.
The Game Awards really gave it a bang. In addition to countless trailers and announcements about new games, there were also plenty of celebrities represented. Stars like Ben Schwartz, Giancarlo Esposito, Guillermo del Toro, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Ming-Na Wen, Paul George and Simu Liu stepped onto the stage of the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. It’s almost Oscar-like. Imagine Dragons and Sting provided musical entertainment, no strangers either.
