How can you give an award to an upcoming game? By definition that game is not finished yet...

The awards are for games that have come out over the past year. But they're juxtaposed by trailers and announcements for new games that will release in the next year or two.

To be fair, it's really the inverse - it's a majority trailer/announcement showcase with some video game awards in the middle.
