I can't really get into the VGAs (Video Game Awards) and Angry Joe brings up some great points. I personally think the VGA is mere a version MTV Movie Awards.
Here are a few the winners from 2009 from GameRant.com,
Game of the Year
- Assassin’s Creed 2
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Left 4 Dead
– Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: Okay, I can see this being the best game. I’ve been watching the “Let’s Play Uncharted 2” on Youtube and it is an amazing game.
Studio of the Year
- Infinity Ward
- Naughty Dog
- Rocksteady Studios: What? Naughty Dog or Valve didn’t win, hmm.
- Valve
Best Independent Game Fueled by Mountain Dew: For one, I have a real problem with a company name being in the award. That’s like slapping Pro-Active on my Employee of the Month award. It doesn’t make sense.
- ‘Splosion Man
- Flower
- Osmos
- Trials HD
Best Xbox 360 Game
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Halo 3: ODST
- Forza Motorspot 3
- Left 4 Dead 2: I played this game before, and I can’t believe this was the winner.
Best Performance by a Human Female
- Eliza Dushku as Rubi Malone
- Kristen Bell as Lucy Stillman
- Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes: Megan “I can’t act” Fox is the best Human Female Performance? She is not a better than Dushku, Bell or Helfer. I’m sorry Megan Fox should only receive the worst actress of the year. You know that only lonely fanboys wanted to see Megan Fox win and not because she was a good actress.
- Tricia Helfer as Dare
Best Performance by a Male
- Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman
- Hugh Jackman as Wolverine: This just shows why there are problems with the VGAs. Bill Murray should have won. However, since there are a lot of very young gamers out there that hasn’t seen Ghostbusters. And, Vin Diessel as a best performance nominee?
- Samuel L. Jackson as Afro Samurai / Ninja Ninja
- Shia Labeouf as Sam Witwicky
- Vin Diessel as Richard B. Riddick
Best Voice
- Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn
- Claudia Black as Chloe Frazer
- Jack Black as Eddie Riggs: Jack Black is funny, but Mark Hamill or Arleen Sorkin deserved the award. However, again they’re not popular enough to win the award. Hamill has been doing
- Mark Hamill as The Joker
- Nolan North as Nathan Drake

See, I don't get why there is a different between voice and performance categories.
And I think Rocksteady winning best studio was sort of spreading the love because they knew that B:AA was going to get shut out of everything else.
yeah, after posting this I read about Rocksteady, and agree. But I'm still angry over Megan Fox. Maybe Best Performance has to do with Motion Capture and voice acting.
When this came up on another forum, someone noted that Jack Black won an award for his work in 2005's King Kong too... and he hosted the awards before, so there may be some weirdness going on there.
Yeah, you might be right, plus by giving him an award, he's bound to do something goofy on stage that will help them sell the show in their promos. "Watch Jack Black go crazy."
