What a joke. It was really bad last year with Madden 2004 winning GOTY. This year it was slightly better, only because there were some good nominees. The winners were viewer's choice, so some were stupid. The winners were:

Caught last half hour of it, I think the whole show is just a bunch of celebs put on a stage to name games. EA does not deserve any awards. (although I like Burnout 3 so... still.. screw them!)
