Golden Joystick Awards

Golden Joystick Awards -palkinto.

Golden Joystick Awards (tunnetaan myös nimellä People's Gaming Awards) on brittiläinen vuosittain jaettava pelialan palkinto. Palkinnon saajat valitaan nettiäänestyksellä. Palkintoja on myönnetty vuodesta 1983, joten kyseessä on maailman toiseksi vanhin peligaala. Palkinnon perusti Computer and Video Games -lehti. Golden Joystick -palkinnot ovat arvostettuja, ja niitä pidetään monesti pelialan vastineena Oscar-palkinnoille.
