Talking about how things will work regarding the guests, Keighley said, “it’s going to be a combination of things — some people live, some live on zoom, some pre-taped. Given the pandemic, this is sort of evolving daily.” The Game Awards is set to feature a special performance by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, and appearances by Brie Larson, Christopher Nolan, Gal Gadot, JackSepticEye, John David Washington, Josef Fares, Keanu Reeves, Nolan North, Reggie Fils-Aime, Stephen A.
