MHR is nominated for best RPG. It launched March 26th.

Thank you. So I'm very surprised to not see it nominated at the Game of the Year. It got a 88% metacritic score. That's strange...

The very first awards show Geoff did. Tony Hawk won best sports game and the GOTY went to Madden 2004. His shows awards never made much sense. They have always been awful. We know which ones paid there way there when RDR2 won best music in a year with Octopath.  Bayonetta was snubbed in 2014 to a mediocre game in Dragon Age Inquisition. Yakuza games are always snubbed and there is often a general bias against nominating a lot of Japanese games.
