We had a similar issue with our own awards while trying to figure out nominees bit that's because I find the platform awards kind of boring if they're filled with multiplayer because then they're all the same and don't seem to serve any purpose of they're own. Makes me think there should be a single award for ps360pc kind of like many sites put handhelds all together in one award, or the platform awards should only be made of exclusives so at least they'll all be different.

They do.  It's called the game of the year award.  that is why these are genre or platform awards

Then what's the point of platform specific awards?  It doesn't make a lot of sense, especially when you have a platform GOTY that is different from your primary GOTY.  Let's say Borderlands 2 won the Xbox award and Halo 4 won the GOTY--where is the logic in that?  Or how about if Dishonored is nomiated for the Playstation award but not the Xbox award, while Borderlands 2 is nomiated for the Xbox award but not the Playstation award?  We've all seen stuff like this happen.

Yeah and I always wonder what the sites that do this kind of stuff are thinking. If I were to hand out GOTY awards, I'd keep it consistant. If a multiplatform game wins overall GOTY then it would be GOTY for all the platforms specific awards too.
