Super Mario Land 3D, Action/Adventure? Really? I'm pretty sure that there were enough platformers this year to justify a Best Platformer category. We've had Super Mario Land 3D, Sonic Generations, Rayman, Kirby, Little Big Planet 2, and more. And while I've yet to play any of them it's hard for me to imagine that Super Mario Land 3D would be a better A/A game than Skyward Sword, which is missing from the category.
And why no Minecraft in Best Downloadable? 
As it is now I hope Skyrim wins the GOTY award, and that has nothing to do with Skyrim being the only candidate I've played.
