I wonder, is this Skyward Sword's first GotY?

Odd that they then gave Music to Skyrim, though. Most awards seem to be leaning with Skyrim as the better game but with Skyward as the better music, and then DICE getting best dev without Battlefield 3 getting any awards

Title is misleading. This is GR UK, GR Sweden, GR Finland, GR denmark have totally different awards xP and I do mean TOTALLY.

Change title plox :P

From critics it just might be, but from users (users voting), it has won a couple of best game of 2011 award. 

Those are third place runners up.

yup, op you listed the games that got third place.

Real results

GOTY: Skyrim

Visuals: Child of Eden

Music: Bastion

Online: The Old Republic

Digitial: Bastion

Story: Dues Ex

HandHeld: Super Mario 3d land

Developer: Bethesda

Its nice to see Child Of Eden and Deux Ex get some attention.

That list looks much more realistic than the one in the OP. I agree with everything in that list. 

Child of Eden usually gets overlooked in visuals even though it has astonishing and vibrant graphics so it's nice to see it getting some recognition.

Also loving the fact that Skyrim is getting so many GOTY awards.

ScrewAttack's GotY was Zelda as well. (user voting though)
