The British Academy of Film and Television Arts reminds you that is also 'Of Games,' as the list of BAFTA Games Awards 2019 nominations is now ready for your consideration. God of War and Return of the Obra Dinn are tied for the lead with six nominations each, though God of War is way ahead if you count the four actors it has nominated for the Performer category.
Tied behind them for second place are Celeste and Red Dead Redemption 2. The tie is once again broken if you count the Performer nod for Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark; Celeste doesn't have any Performers to nominate (unless you count the little wah-wah sounds the characters make as their text appears), so it's not really a fair comparison. Anyway, the award ceremony is set for April 4, 2019 at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. We'll let you know when and where to watch as the awards get closer, but until then, here's a list of all the nominations.
