I'm just sick of fun and optimistic games like Animal Crossing New Horizons getting snubbed at award shows in favor of an excessively cinematic game that's needlessly depressing and focuses more on story than gameplay.

That's a preference. There's nothing wrong with cinematic games and winning awards shows is totally out of an individual person's hands. If nothing else, it means those games work for a large majority. 

I couldn't care less for Elden Ring, but I acknowledge the high likelihood of it winning many awards this year. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Ah yes, the large majority of TLoUII which took 2 years to limp over 10 million units, as opposed to the measly ~40 million seller New Horizons.

Adding in Hades, Doom Eternal and even FF7Remake, TLoUII was easily the least fun and most divisive title in that list. Had nothing to do with mass appeal and everything to do with agendas and the fact these awards are decided before the games are actually played by real people.
