Since when is Lara Croft a white woman?

I think it's fitting that she is alongside real life folk's who's business it is to create products and sell them.

We're amid the work of selling, who's context is currently celebration.

It is special award. There are only 3 awards given till now and yes LC will soon be in Hall of Fame and first fictional character ever to receive this award.

It's basically one of the biggest awards and huge recognition. Bigger than any GOTY for example.

That's Favorite Character award. Has nothing to do with Special Hall of Fame award.

3 awards since... awards ceremony started. Info is in the OP.
