Now we're onto some of my favourite awards - the special categories. We'll start with the performance ones:
Best Supporting Performance of 2022
The winner was just 2% ahead of the runner-up here. As Lee noted in his article, a certain game having three finalists likely denied one of its voice actors the award, as voting was split fairly evenly between the three (20.55%, 16.52%, and 10.66%). Not all votes would have transferred of course; my own vote went to one of the three, but my second pick was for another game entirely. But I expect had we limited each game to two finalists maximum then the runner-up here probably would have won.
