The new show is not affiliated with Spike, and Keighly has partnered with publishers and developers to hand out awards to 2014's best games and make many new announcements. The event is set to kick off at 9 p.m. Eastern Time and can be watched via the live stream below.
There promises to be at least a dozen premieres alongside the awards, for which you can see the categories and nominees here. These are the rules for the nomination and eligibility process:
"Nominees for The Game Awards 2014 are selected by a jury of 28 international media.

Games must have been commercially released by Tuesday, November 25 to be eligible for awards."
