Some of you might have seen Adam Harrington's thread "Thank You Telltale Forum/Fans From the Sheriff" in which he thanked everyone for our support and wanted to let us know that he was nominated for a Bafta Game award and if he won he would give a shout out to the forum, in the thread i promised that i would post a link but i decided to make a thread too add extra details so nobody misses it if you're able to watch.
Unfortunately nobody from Telltale won but it was still awesome too see them get nominated.
Both Melissa Hutchison for her role as Clementine and Adam Harrington for his role as Bigby have been nominated for "Best Performers" along side Ashley Johnson (Ellie) The Last Of Us: Left Behind, Kevin Spacey (Jonathan Irons) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Logan Cunningham as (Transistor) in Transistor and Troy Baker (Pagan Min) Far Cry 4.
The Walking Dead: Season 2 has been nominated for best "Mobile & Handheld" game along side 80 Days, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, Hitman GO, Monument Valley and Threes.
The Wolf Among Us has been nominated for "Best Story" along side 80 Days, Broken Age, The Last of Us: Left Behind, Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) and Far Cry 4.

Bafta also tweeted these pics from the Bafta nominations party.
Lets hope we see one of them win
Spacey got nominated?
This just got a lot more interesting.
I really hope Melissa or Adam win ;-;
Wait, Troy Baker was Pagan Min?
That guy is EVERYONE!
I WANT NEWS!!
(Seriously I hope theres some new news on one of the upcoming games)
Well we just got that TFTBL Ep 2 is coming next week. Plus you shouldn't expect anything to be revealed at the Bafta's, it's just an awards thing :P
Like @Green613 said this is only a award show so there won't be any news during the show but they will be at the SXSW this weekend so we might hear something there.

If anyone is interested in watching the award show should start in around 10 mins but i don't think they will start giving out awards straight away. If anyone from Telltale does win it will be archived so you won't miss anything.
Damn these are good choices. Can't speak for Kevin Spacey, but everyone else did an outstanding performance for their characters. I'm definitely interested who's gonna be the winner (I want them all to win! so they can keep doing what they do best).
Oh and go TWD S2 for best mobile game, but my money is on Hearthstone to win since it's so damn popular (here's hoping I'm wrong).
Crossing my fingers for Clementine and Bigby.
Some screenshots from the stream
Hopefully they can win
thanks
Ashely Johnson won:-(
She was good but c'mon. Bigby and Clem FTW.
Drat! Ashley Johnson (Ellie) was great, but if I see Telltale people, I'm rooting for them.
Oh well, at least she gave Melissa a shout out
Yeah I'm being an idiot. I should be happy that they got nominated. This proves that both Melissa and Adam did an outstanding job and deserve all the praise they get for their roles.
Reprising a role in a DLC? I don't understand how/why that should count.
No offense to Ashley Johnson, who I think is a great voice actress, but it bugs me. You know?
I noticed that, i think they are friends so i am not surprided that she gave Melissa a shoutout.
Maybe next year Troy Baker could try winning it for Tales from the Borderlands :P
Ah shoot...Oh well, I love Ashley Johnson. She did an amazing job with Ellie. But Adam and Melissa still got nominated which is still great.
Last Of Us shouldn't have gotten nominated.
