As any major awards ceremony approaches, there’s always a clamor for the addition of new categories to recognize unsung work and fill the hearts of followers with niche passions. It can even work: The next Oscars will hand out an award for Best Casting for the first time, and the long-desired Stunt Design award will debut in 2028. So the organizers of The Game Awards will have to forgive us if we deluge them with similar pleas. (Though we might have to wait a while — it took 35 years of lobbying by the movie stunt community for the Academy to relent on the Stunt Design award.)
