Last year, as you might recall, Konami and their son Hideo Kojima got into a spat. Konami barred Kojima from attending The Game Awards to collect an honor he received for Metal Gear Solid V; host Geoff Keighley went HAM. It was a whole thing.
This year, Kojima will finally get his award:

One of the most important things I wanted to do this year was give @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN the stage moment he was robbed of last year.
