As a result, youre left thinking about the misses, not the hits.
And that has got me thinking ofYakuza (or Like a Dragon).
The nominees are no slouches, though Murphy was always going to walk away with the deserved win.
However, there is one name missing from the list: Zac Efron (The Iron Claw).
Efron deserved it simply because it was one of the best performances of the year.
And Giamatti… he can stay.
And its the sort of balancewe see Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga strikeacross the Like a Dragon series.
Games so rarely strive for it, and its part of what makes Like a Dragon so special.
Awards, ultimately, do not matter.
Its important not to forget that during award season - how you feel matters more than who wins.
But I feel Efron should have been nominated, and this year only reminds me of that injustice.
