You have to submit your big popular game for nomination? That makes no sense.

Well BAFTA is the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, but they've been doing game awards as well for a while now. For film awards you always have to submit your films for consideration, so I imagine they decided to just keep the rules the same for their gaming awards.

Rockstar knows what's up. Those awards don't mean shit, which is a shame, because they're probably the best ones out there.

Yeah, its pretty popular. What- does that blow your mind? The 'people's choice award' isn't about quality, its about what game is the most appealing to the common denominator. 
 
That list is.... pretty solid. Nothing to complain about here.

Heavy Rain for story is something to complain about, but people seem to love it despite the massive plot holes so what do I know?

No Mr.MysteriousBob it does not blow my mind, not at this point. What does blow my point is how a game is rehashed year after year like a sports title while still using a modified Quake 3 engine and people still buy the game like water.   
 
This is my opinion, I think COD is a stale generic series and seriously needs an engine that doesn't look like it was built for the Dreamcast.

That's how almost all industry awards work. Whether that's the film industry, or the water utilities industry (I know about the water thing because a friend of mine has to submit his company each year).

Heavy Rain for story is a bit weird....but the worst,and by far, is Need For Speed over BF:BC2 for multiplayer!? WTF 
 
NFS is a fine game but BF:BC2 is a FAR superior online experience. This is ridiculous.

Heavy rain, While it was a decent story had more plot holes than the grand canyon.  
 
Something like RDR should of won that award.
