  1. Lego Party? Really? Theres like a billion better party games that released this year.
    Also I love that “Best British Game” is a real thing.
    One Last Thing, Why did ghost of yotei get best music and not like Clair 33 or Silksong? I honestly feel like silksong should have been represented in at least animation or music.

    1. “Performer in a Leading Role: Jennifer English”

      BAFTA wants to honor the “British” in their title so much that even the winner has a British-related name.

    1. I swear, no man’s sky is ALWAYS in the best evolving game award. Let’s give it to palworld for once, or any other game other then No Mans Sky.

        1. I like No mans sky, It deserves some awards once in a while. But it gets annoying when it wins every year. The updates are really cool, but I feel like other games deserve a shot to win.

  2. You pay for your BAFTA’s. No ones actually judging them in a proper or fair way.
    The BBC News segment on these awards was literally a promotion for XBOX.
