SpikeTV has just released a list of the nominees for this year’s videogame awards. Yes, its a sham… but what award shows aren’t? At least this show doesn’t have a bunch of actors thanking “God for the incredible gifts they were given.” Instead we get to listen to Samuel L. “Mutha*****ng” Jackson and watch clips from our favorite videogames. As far as shams go, it aint so bad. The awards are going to take place on November 18th at the Gibson Amphitheater in L.A. and will be aired on SpikeTV on Saturday, December 10 at 9PM.
