Awards streams live on Thursday, December 12, 2024, from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h3>How are nominees selected?<\/h3>\n<p>Nominees for most categories of The Game Awards are chosen by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An international jury of over 100 global media and influencer outlets, was selected for their history of critical video game evaluation.<\/li>\n<li>Specialized juries also convene for other categories including esports, accessibility, and best adaptation.<\/li>\n<li>Each voting outlet completes a confidential, unranked ballot based on the collective and diverse opinion of its entire editorial staff, listing out its top five choices in each category.<\/li>\n<li>Ballots are tabulated, and the five games that appear on the most ballots are put forth as nominees. In the event of a tie, six (or more) nominees will be announced in a category.<\/li>\n<li>Game Awards producer Geoff Keighley is not a member of the jury and does not vote on the nominees or winners. Similarly, The Game Awards Advisory Board has no involvement in the awards process and learns of the results at the same time as the general public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What can I expect at the show?<\/h3>\n<p>The Game Awards will celebrate video games with awards, world premieres, musical performances, and more!<\/p>\n<h3>Can I attend The Game Awards in person?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! A limited number of public tickets will be available, starting in November. Visit the Peacock Theater box office for more details.<\/p>\n<a class=\"google-news-link\" title=\"Follow us on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMN_a0QswnvboAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"264px\" height=\"63px\" src=\"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-bootstrap-4-pro\/assets\/images\/follow-us-on-google-news-en.svg\" alt=\"Follow us on Google News\" title=\"\"><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The gaming community is abuzz with anticipation because the most prestigious event of the year, Game Awards 2024, is just &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":29483,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"gift_card_attribute":[],"games_attribute":[],"class_list":["post-29503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29503"},{"taxonomy":"gift_card_attribute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gift_card_attribute?post=29503"},{"taxonomy":"games_attribute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ar-pay.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/games_attribute?post=29503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
