The E3 Game Critics have announced the nominations for Best Show of E3, with Mario + Rabbit Battle Kingdom, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus taking the lead with four nominations.

On the publisher side, Ubisoft leads with 14 nominations, followed by Sony with seven and Bethesda with six. Sorted by platform, PS4 and PC both get 49 nominations, Xbox takes 44 and Nintendo 17.

Not all titles compete for nominations, because there are rules. For example, the game must be playable for five minutes during the show, which means that a number of titles have already been released.
