With how corrupt the gaming industry is, what do you guys think the chances of Mixtape getting a nomination spot in the 2026 Game Awards are? Or, God forbid, they manage to snag a few awards?

Now I'm just waiting for Democrat politicians to start shilling for Mixtape too. But which one would be the most likely to do so? AOC, despite trying to get gamer cred and failing miserably, i.e. the livestream she had with Tim Walz, doesn't seem to be the type to want to play this game.

The Game Awards are in December—by that point, nobody on either side will even remember the game, and there's time for two or three other controversial games for journos to embarrass themselves over them. Unless they can keep the outrage ball rolling for 6 months, they aren't winning anything in any real category. Maybe score and music if Geoff is feeling particularly cheeky that day, but certainly not Best Independent Game. Recency bias is huge when it comes to the Dorito Pope awards.
That said, being a "big" Annapurna release usually guarantees at least one pity nomination spot, and it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to "gently persuade" Geoff & co. to force it into a couple extra categories.
It would be extremely funny if it won Innovation in Accessibility, though.
