They are hosted by Geoff Keighley, a video game journalist and television presenter best known for hosting GameTrailers TV and now-defunct G4tv.com. He has been spearheading the awards since the inaugural show in 2014.

The award nominees and winners are decided via a combination of viewer votes and a jury of over 100 global media and influencer outlets.
