None of the eSports Audience Award game titles are nominated for any other BAGA categories, but with the creation of this award, the Academy made it clear this year that eSports is being recognized as a legitimate part of the gaming entertainment industry.
From BAFTA.org:
“The AMD eSports Audience Award aims to recognise and acknowledge the games that captured the hearts and imaginations of players and audiences over the past year in eSports. “
