Not seeing your favorite game listed as a nominee? It could be because the required fee of $1,000 per title. Some studios probably didn't want to fork over the cash, while others that perhaps wouldn't have normally been nominated handed over the fees without any qualms. Just something to consider when looking at the list of nominees and winners.
