The 2014 Vidya Gaem Awards streamed on Twitch yesterday. This author watched them, and compiled a hybrid nominee/winner list and itinerary, which you can read below. The winner for each category is indicated in ALL CAPS.

You should have been able to watch the awards on Youtube earlier but the video had been unavailable due to a copyright dispute with Lionsgate. Thankfully, that’s been cleared up. Feel free to click play above for the abridged show. You can also view the unedited awards over on Twitch.

We managed to talk to the producers of the 2014 show last month. You can read that interview here.
