I find it interesting that no PlayStation or Xbox first party titles won in any category.

Xbox (console) exclusive Ori and the Blind Forest won in Best Xbox Game and Best Audio.  PlayStation exclusive Bloodborne won best PlayStation and Best Original game.  Neither are first party titles.  It's especially odd to me that Xbox was won by an indie game since PS is usually hyped as the more indie friendly platform and it's not even a full exclusive as there is a PC version as well, it's just a console exclusive.  Also if it's that great (I haven't played it myself) I'm surprised it didn't actually win the indie category over Kerbal.

CD Projekt Red did clean house despite having less nominations than other games.  It's also nice to see Bethesda win mobile game with Fallout Shelter and most anticipated with Fallout 4.  Witcher 3 won most anticipated last year and went on to win all those categories this year so hopefully Fallout 4 can pull off something similar.

I caught the last few awards on the Twitch stream, and blimey, there were so many crazy Life Is Strange fans in the chat; reminded me of all the crazy PewDiePie fans in the chat last year. Speaking of that chuffster, The Miller Report got screwed out of the gaming personality award; he's lucky Miller's dead. :p
