Super Smash Brothers Brawl is my top pick. I'd go with Grand Theft Auto 4 as my second choice.

Metal Gear Solid 4 though Gears of War 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 will probably come close

I think there's a few on that list you can already scratch out, I think you have the nominees in there but a few titles which really don't belong ( like Warhammer).
If I had to name 4 right now I would pick in no particular order : - Starcraft 2 - MGS4 - GTA IV - WoW WoLK if it comes out this year. |
The list I made was a bit stretched, but any of them has decent chances of being called 2008 GOTY.
Warhammer Online may look farfetched, but it looks to be the first MMORPG at WoW's caliber, and you know how many awards WoW won.
But if I had to scratch out some games, It would be Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2 and yes, Warhammer Online too.
BRAWL, BRAWL, BRAWL!!!
and to anyone who says it doen't bring anything new? have you PLAYED it? I mean REALLY Played it. New Story, New Modes (Boss Battle, ect.), New ONLINE, Stickers, Assist trophies, and MORE!!!
If StarCraft 2 comes out, that would be my overall pick for goty
Others include GTAIV, MGS4, GoW2. Woulda added SSBB but it really doesnt have a complex storyline but it would definitely win Best Fighting Game.
Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM
End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.
Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)
End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):
Wii: 81 mil 360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil
There is no one goty, there are probably around 150 GOTY awards between magazines and websites. Also im surprised nobody has even mentioned Fallout 3.
The main nominees will probably be
Spore
MGS 4
GTA 4
GeOW 2
SSBB
Fable 2
Fallout 3
Star Craft 2
NG 2
Little big Planet
It will not be SSBB or GTAIV. Neither are going to be innovative or have the lasting appeal that will win it.
Spore
MGS4
Star Craft 2
Maybe Little Big Planet
That will be the four contenders as each will either bring something new to a franchise, or is innovative yet will have amazing gameplay.

....are you being ironic on purpose? You just claimed that SSBB and GTA4 don't have enough lasting appeal, while MGS4 does..... The MGS games generally have very low lasting appeal. Single player, not huge in length, little replayability.
You just compared it to Brawl - sequel to a gamecube game many people played for it's entire life, the standard friends are over lets play game, online mode. Smash bros games usually have insane amounts of lasting appeal.
GTA4 - Likely to feature a very long single player, massive open world to play around in, multiplayer, co-op. Likewise Gta games have insane amounts of lasting appeal.
And seriously what innovations is MGS4 bringing exactly? In fact what is starcraft 2 bringing?
