Quick note about the formatting here: There are no spoilers, I'm just using the spoiler dealies to keep this thing from being insanely long, because it was really long even without seven lines of nominees. Also, a couple only have one nominee, and aside from one specific award, these are based solely on games that I have actually played, so I can almost guarantee that there will be some game you enjoyed that I did not play.  And I put the nominees in alphabetical order.
 
Anyway, here's the nominees:  
  

Abe Lincoln Award for Best Use of Facial Hair  

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

John Marston (Red Dead Redemption)
Norman Jayden (Heavy Rain)

Patrick Stewart - Zobek (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow)

Roger Craig Smith - Ezio (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood) 
Stephen Fry - Reaver (Fable III)
 
*Now, I know someone is going to read that and cry, "Why him instead of Jennifer Hale?" My answer is that I only ever played the game as male Shepard, and that I like my Shepard to be Canadian, like another space-faring legend.

You can cast your votes if you want, but expect MooseyMcMan to throw them out when it's time to name the winners. He's just letting us know his nominations in advance, and the winners will be announced on December 31 or January 1.

Probably the most spoiler tags I've ever seen on a page.  
Good list though, good list.
