Multiplayer GOTY with only a handful of maps and limited modes and no communication. Seems legit.

Pretty much this... 
Winning best Shooter is understable because this can be based on different opinions.
But winning best Multiplayer without a party chat? lol

lol indeed (thou it wouldn't be the silliest award winner I saw).

PS I personally prefer it to other 4, but it has nothing to do with, well, these little technical details.
