Four new award categories have been added to the BAFTA awards, for the few who actually care.

The new award categories are: Debut game, online browser, online multiplayer, and performer.

"BAFTA annually reviews its Awards categories to ensure they remain relevant and valued within the industry," said Ray Maguire, Chairman of BAFTA's Video Games Committee.

"Over the last year, we have witnessed the increased sophistication and popularity of online gaming, and so our two new Online categories will ensure the scope of creative work in this area is being properly recognised," he continued.

"We are equally delighted to begin recognising the performance aspect within games, as we do for film and television, which further demonstrates the common ground between the industries. Debut Game is another important addition this year, which reflects the changing game-development landscape and the rise of new, independent studios."

I'm guessing performer is for voice acting, in which case Nolan North might as well win 2011's award right now.
