The Game Awards, produced by Canadian games journalist Geoff Keighley, were presented December 7 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The shortlist was selected by a panel of 52 people in the video game industry. Public voting counted towards 10% of the winners’ selection in the jury-voted awards, while it was the sole consideration for the fan’s choice awards. Showrunner Geoff Kayleigh said most of the categories had over five million votes each.
Note: The winner of the Best Multiplayer category apparently wasn’t announced on the show, nor reported by industry websites, or the Wikipedia (where much of this info comes from.)
