Personally, I'd remove Tears of the Kingdom from Art Direction and replace it with either Diablo IV or Starfield...But I sort of understand why Starfield wasn't nominated, I don't agree with it at all and it's something that baffles me but people see "realistic" as "boring" I see space as fucking beautiful, others see it as empty boring nothingness. The vistas in Starfield are stunning, I found myself just staring out into space from time to time looking at the planets, the galaxies, etc. I fucking love space, Lol. I think TotK is just an incredibly boring nomination, it's exactly the same as BOTW, it has already been recognised for its Art-Style, give it to something new.
Inon Zur deserves a Best Score nomination too. It is what it is.
