Between this and the Smithsonian exhibit video games are really stepping up. I just hope the nominees are from games besides ones done by famous composers, or the most famous games.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.Why is this happening after Super Mario Galaxy 2's release and not before?
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Because it doesn't work to your arbitrary decision on what you think the best music ever is? Throwing it out there.
Great, maybe one day it could be acknowledged by a real award. Ah well, dare to dream.
Seriously, the Grammy's have less credibility than the VGA's, I don't really see why this is cause for celebration
Whether people want to admit it or not, gaming is growing into an artform. The stories are getting more complex. The scenes are getting more cinematic. Bigger named actors are voicing. Music has gone from monotone to orchastra. The games in HD seem so real you feel as if you could touch them.
V Gs are finally getting some credit.
Yes, but this isn't the Oscars or the Pulitzers. The Grammys are so notoriously political and money driven, that winning it is rendered completel meaningless.
Videogames have the Baftas - this is a step down for them.
It's not like mainstream audiences watch video game awards.
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIThe Baftas are for everything.
Honestly I don't see why they care where the music comes from. Can't someone just point to the soundtrack CD and claim that's the album it's from?
Thats what they've been doing, usually.
Some Atlus and Team Ico games got a nomination, I think, but thats the extent of it.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Okay, bad example.
Who says the Oscars are political and money-driven?
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!Or, people bitter about things they don't like not winning.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!You look me in the eye and tell me How Green Was My Valley was a better movie than Citizen Kane.
See, that was the result of a smear campaign, that's understandable. The rest, not so much.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!The category was called "Best picture of 1941." Not "Best picture of this year that is most likely to be remembered, or liked, ~50 years from now."
And the voters of that 1941 Oscars were fraking crazy...
If politics had nothing to do with the winners, you wouldn't see massive advertisement campaigns for historical epics every pre-Oscar season.
Oscar bait still exists, and they still fall for it. Not to say that Oscar bait is necessarily bad (I loved the King's Speech), but it's plenty politics.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Lets really think what the Oscars are saying here. According to the Oscars, Chariots Of Fire>Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Dances With Wolves>Goodfellas, Marlee Maltin>Ellen Ripley, and Harry And Tonto>Godfather II
Link for the win.
