Came across this interesting gaming award. Read below:
As a celebration of our 5th Anniversary, we have decided to bestow our first set of annual awards upon deserving developers and publishers. Three separate awards are being presented - Field of Vision, Narrow Minded and Game of the Year.
Even though many games now offer native widescreen resolution support, proper FOV support and HUD scaling are far from universal. To help evangelize and encourage proper implementation in widescreen and Surround Gaming scenarios, the WSGF seeks to recognize those developers who represent the best and worst examples of widescreen support.

lol @ the losers who were, given the not so prestigious but aptly named "Narrow Minded" award. None other than Dice, another FPS veteran with their Battlefield Franchise earning them the title.
Seems DICE argues that Wide Screen gaming is akin to cheating and made spirited efforts to disable/hide the feature in their games. It is an argument, and I can see their reasoning but the counter arguments are equally valid and HD/Widescreen gaming has gained sufficient momentum to make the point moot.
