It looks like the Steam Awards are a thing this year. Players can choose nominees for 8 different categories.
http://store.steampowered.com/SteamAwardNominations/
Why not nominate BGEE or BG2EE for the “Test of Time” Award?
"This award is for the game that is just as good today as the day you first played it. Newer games may come out, but it doesn’t matter… you’ll always come back to play this one."
Sounds very fitting. Dragon Age, Skyrim, PoE... and we're still playing Baldur's Gate.
Or for the “Just 5 More Minutes” Award?
"You have an early day tomorrow. You need to get some sleep, so you’re just going finish one more thing before you decide to tuck in for the night. Just one more. Wait, one more. What’s that you say? It’s 2:30 AM? This award is for the game that keeps you playing late."
I'd say - rolling new characters certainly takes 5 minutes... or 5 minutes more, or 5 minutes more.
Or for the “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” Award.
"Some games melt your face. Maybe it was a crazy plot twist. Maybe you just got your wisdom teeth removed. Either way, this game BLOWS YOUR MIND."
Yoshimo anyone?
Or for the “Villain Most In Need Of A Hug” Award.
"Some people just need a hug."
How about giving Sarevok a hug?
Or for the “Game Within A Game” Award.
"Kinder Eggs. Peanut Butter Cups. Jelly Donuts. All great things stuffed with other great things. Like a mighty turducken, this award celebrates the best mini game hidden within another game."
The Chess game in Durlag's Tower? The Deck of Many things? The Maze in the Watcher's Keep?
Or for the “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” Award.
"This title didn’t have a huge marketing machine behind it, but you found it and loved it. Then you told your friends about it. And they loved it. And now that little game that could is about to win an award… but always remember: you totally found it first."
Remember how you bought your CDs in late 90th without actually knowing what to find inside? Internet wasn't a popular thing that time.
Or for the “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” Award.
"Animals are rad and almost any game is better for including them. However this game used a farm animal in the best way possible."
Melicamp? Familiars? Bears? Rats in Candlekeep? Boo?!
Or for the “We Didn’t Think Of Everything” Award.
"(*name pending Selection Committee Decision) There are as many great ideas for awards as there are great games to play. And so we turn to the Steam Awards Selection Committee to come up with their own category and nominee. Senior members of the Selection Committee will review the write-in entries and create an entirely new category based on the feedback provided."
How about the "Miniature Giant Space Hamster" Award? Or "I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye" Award?
GO VOTE!

If everyone agrees lets go for a strange prize, try to give BG2 the notoriety it deserves.
I always thought Irenicus could use a HUG, what do you think
I'd be surprised if it doesnt get a lot of nominations.
It's a shame I couldn't nominate BG1 as well
Doesn't get better than that.
+ BG2 for the "Best Use of a Farm Animal" award...it doesn't get better than a wild surge cow drop.
I would nominate Melicamp.
I nominated:
BGEE: Test of time
BG:SoD: Liked before it won an award
BGIIEE: Villain needs a hug
Just 5 more minutes goes to Civ V. The IE games are easy enough to put down once I finish exploring an area, but the Civ games have always been my "just one more turn" weakness.
