I get that Baldur's Gate 3 is a great game and I have no reason to dispute that, but its presence in any category this year leaves no chance for the rest, making the nominations pointless.
Nomination itself is a kind of a prize. Yes, BG3 will probably win everything, but that's what happens if it's really that good at everything. LotR won 11 Oscars because it was better than all the other contenders that year, but the nominations mean they were recognised as good enough to go against the winner.
