The Oscar Nominations Suggest Best Picture Is Down to Two Movies-and Not the Ones Many Thought

One of the ongoing debates surrounding this year's awards season was whether Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another really deserved the prizes it was amassing in the run-up to the Oscars-awards it was tipped to also sweep on Hollywood's biggest night.

What Did You Think Of The Game Awards 2025 - Kotaku

I'll start. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won more awards than any game in TGA history. Personally, while I love the game and think it warrants the hype, that seems a bit overblown. Will it stand the test of time like formative winners including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring, and Baldur's Gate 3? I suspect not, but maybe not reinventing the wheel shouldn't be held against it. It's the game of the moment and this is the awards show for 2025.
