Add new field for awards and nominations
I’d like to propose the addition of a new field to store information about a game's nominations and awards. The structure would be as follows:
[Event name, number of nominations, list of nominated categories, number of awards won, list of awarded categories]
Example (Astro Bot):
[
["TGA 2024", 7, ["Game of the Year", "Best Game Direction", "..."], 4, ["Game of the Year", "Best Game Direction", "..."]],
["28th D.I.C.E. Awards", 6, ["Outstanding Achievement in Game Design", "..."], 2, ["Outstanding Achievement in Game Design", "..."]]
]
This structure would allow for a detailed and standardized representation of each game's awards history across multiple events.

Could potentially even be formatted like IMDb does their events/awards.
Example to show the whole event for that year
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000003/2025/1/Example of the banner that could be displayed
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28607951/?ref_=ev_acd_nomThat way it can track all the years, events, and wins its gotten without too much cluttering. Have basic info on the starter page like how many wins or events they have been in and then clicking it would reveal the events/awards in detail.
Could also potentially make it easier to see all the IGDB events a game is in vs having to click the arrow key to scroll through them all. Honkai: Star Rail is in 11 events so if I want to see its first event I have to click the arrow button a few times vs being able to click the "Events Featured In" and getting a full list that way. Granted not every game is going to be in this many events but something to think about for all upcoming popular games.
