Game rankings is a good indicator but not the final say. There are a lot of factors that tie into getting GOTY and most of the time "review scores" aren't directly a factor.
I would say that Mario Galaxy is undeniably a contender, but we all know that GOTY is a big popularity contest, and Nintendo and its games aren't the most popular amongst industry veterans still despite Wii's success.
