The show finished with a tribute to Shigeru Miyamoto, who became the first Japanese man to be awarded the Academy Fellowship.  As the closing video proved, it was a well-deserved award, given to a gentleman who has truly shaped modern video games. Miyamoto's acceptance speech was inspirational . As someone who's first videogame was Super Mario 64, I thought he was absolutely brilliant. The award could not have gone to a better person.

What do you think of the Award winners? Do you agree that Uncharted 2 had better audio than Left 4 Dead 2? - I don't! Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
