At least Zelda won for Art Direction.
Oh and an exclusive Xbox game didn't win for the third year in a row so I guess these awards aren't total sh!t.

It seems the list leans towards multi-platfrom titles. Not a lot of exclusives took home hardware. The only rationalization that I can think is that if everyone can get access to it and [theoretically] enjoy it, give it the gold star (Or plaque, whatever they give.)
P.S Was Call of Duty really that good to get overall GOTY? I admit to being a but daft on the PC-Gaming scene, but I just don't feel/see the buzz around it like say id's or Valve's FPS franchises.

IMO POP was way better than Zelda, at least it didnt bore me to death.
