The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences announced their nominees for the 20th annual D.I.C.E. (design, innovate, communicate, entertain) awards yesterday. The D.I.C.E. Awards annually celebrate the biggest gaming moments of the year, and this year is no different with 56 different titles getting at least one nod.

Leading the way is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End with 10 nominations, followed closely behind by indie darling Inside with nine. This year also marks the addition of two new categories: Immersive Reality Game of the Year and Immersive Reality Technical Achievement Award. Both of these are meant to shine a light on the emerging VR/AR platforms that took center stage in many gaming conversations over the course of 2016. This brings the total categories for the show up to 24. All other categories and nominations can be seen below.

Nominees and winners in each award category are determined by the Academy’s peer panels. These panels—one for each category—are comprised of the game industry’s most experienced and talented men and women, and who are experts in their chosen fields. Winners are determined as part of a confidential voting process, with every panel member getting a vote for Game of the Year along with their field of expertise, and the results of this voting process is kept top secret until the night of the show.

“On behalf of the Academy’s Board of Directors and its 33,000+ membership, I’d like to congratulate all the nominees,” said Mike Fischer, President of the AIAS. “For the past 20 years, the Academy has made the core of its mission to honor and celebrate the highest achievements in game making. We look forward to celebrating our 20th anniversary milestone, and look forward to celebrating many more years to come!”

Along with all the awards, legendary game director Todd Howard will also be honored as the 22nd member inducted into the AIAS’s Hall of Fame on the night of the show.

This year’s show will be streamed in its entirety live from The Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, via live.interactive.org starting at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET on Thursday, February 23rd. It was also announced that this year’s show would be hosted by Kinda Funny co-founder Greg Miller, and Nerdist News host Jessica Chobot. Here now is the list of nominees at this year’s show.
