Ieder jaar wordt de Awards van The Acadamey of Interactive Arts and Sciences uitgereikt. De uitreiking vindt over twee weken plaats, maar vandaag zijn de genomineerden reeds bekend.
Bioshock lijkt de grote winnaar te worden, de game kreeg een record aantal nominaties van 12. Ook Call of Duty 4 deed het niet slecht, deze scoorde 10 nominaties.
