It's time once again for BAFTA's video game awards, one of the industry's glitziest awards ceremonies. This year, the British Academy is clearly infatuated with two of 2019's most peculiar games; Death Stranding and Control have each received 11 nominations. The latter even receives a nod for Best Game, while Kojima Productions' game has the most nominees for performers. It's also worth remembering Hideo Kojima will be collecting the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship award.
They aren't the only games to receive multiple nominations, though. Disco Elysium, which is coming to PlayStation 4 this year, is up for seven golden masks, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Life Is Strange 2, and Outer Wilds are recognised in five categories each. There's a real mix of games here, with titles big and small vying for awards. Untitled Goose Game and Outer Wilds will be competing with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Control for Best Game, for instance.
Here's the full list of categories and nominees. We'll find out the winners when the BAFTA Games Awards 2020 ceremony takes place next month. What do you think of all the choices? Predict which games will take home some trophies in the comments below.

It's weird how they picked Martti Suosalo as Ahti for supporting role in Control, and not Matthew Porretta as Dr. Darling.
@Octane he should have gotten an Nomination just for that dynamite song alone.
Hope Goose Game wins so everyone can moan yet again.
Sekiro will put them down effortlessly :3
One thing I find quite interesting is that Death Stranding is nominated in pretty much every category that makes sense, but it's not up for Best Game. Overall pretty happy with the nominees, though
They seem to be pushing Control quite a bit for some reason? It was a fun game but a bit forgettable.
Off topic but the first award for the celebration event is out now.
@jdv95 Agreed!
Fantastic to see Control doing so well!
@Quintumply Death Stranding isn't a game, though...it's an experience.
No at $60 it's just a walking simulator with cutscenes at $20 or $30 it's an experience atleast one worth my money
Where's The Outer Worlds? One of the better games I played last year.
@ApostateMage Nominated for Narrative, at least!
Concrete Genie i hope they win some prices.
I'm the only one still playing Civilization VI ?
