I'd bet my entire life savings (about $3) that a bunch of hogs made a concentrated effort to get the Blood Libel Game(TM) nominated. There's no chance it wins against BG or LC but its still bizarre to see
also Starfield got a nom for "Most Innovative Gameplay" 
Yeah, when i first saw it it looked like RPGmaker game no 928374982375, but fortunately they rolled up a demo and i would never pass on a RPG wuxia game (except those from RPG maker) and it was actually excellent. A little bit stingy in pixels but that game really have soul.
