SoulCalibur4 will not win the best fighting game award,that will go to SSBB in which I think should have been a GOTY nominee.

Not sure I agree. Not because Smash Bros isn't a good game...but because this is Spike TVs VGAs. I wouldn't be surprised if they burn a pile of nintendo Wiis as the opening.

This is the Spike TV awards folks. It wouldn't surprise me if Halo 3 came back and won all of the award. OP's predictions seem fairly accurate, though. G4's awards will follow in a few months. It's just a popularity contest, so expect a Gears of War 2 sweep there as well.

Spike's and G4's awards shows are good for a laugh, but don't get your feelings hurt when some ridiculous games win some prestigious awards. Stick to IGN, Gametrailers, and maybe even our very own VGChartz (we DO do game of the year here, right?) for respectable GOTY's.

I was going to make a comment resembling Brute's but I don't know anything about Spike TV. So they don't like the Wii?

Or, better yet, pay attention to the only set of GOTY awards that matters, which are those handed out at the Game Developers' Conference. That's my award show, yessir.

Its mostly drunk frat boys that watch this so yeah...they will cater to them. Wii is not really the console of choice for the average drunk 19-26 year olds these days...

If Halo 3 won all the awards again, I'd be a happy man :)

But Boom Blox is such an excellent drinking game! Drink everytime you hit a cow. Everytime you throw the ball and nothing falls. Everytime you grab the wrong block and make everything collapse. The possibilities are endless!
