It turns out they have 3 guys from Polygon on the advisory panel, and even 1 from the Official Xbox Magazine. Only 2 other cites even have 2 representatives, no other cite besides polygon has 3. Even the biggest gaming cite, IGN, only has 1 representative. Not only that. Theres a rep from Xbox Magazine. no other console has a dedicated cite being present. Not PlayStation Magazine, nor Nintendo. It just seems odd to me that they would only have a rep from xbox, and not for the other consoles, and on top of that have the most reps (3) coming from polygon, while every other cite besides Kataku, and penny arcade? (with 2 reps each) has only one representative. Also i hate how they nominate games before some of them even come out, and then also leave out games that havent come out yet (namely GT6 this year, Far Cry last year). And really, Call of Duty and Battlefield are nominated for best shooter, but Killzone isnt? really. So is this just a coincidence, an gross oversight, or perhaps intentional? Does this make VGX bias?

because all the nominated games were already released as review version (forza, mario and killer instinct if i remember correct) before they announced the nomination but gt6 and far cry 3 weren't already released as review version. they had probaly at least one week time to play all of this years nominated games. ign even accidentally released their video review of mario before they announced the mario nomination. so, if all magazines already knew what they will give mario, why shouldn't they nominate it just because they couldn't already release the review?
no clue about the rest of your post. maybe they are biased, maybe it's coincidence. would be good to see the guys who were responsible in the last years and if they switch all the time or not.
