Wait, what? Hugh Jackman is the best male voice actor, but Jack Black is the best voice actor? And Megan Fox won an award for acting in some capacity?

Yeah, that was confusing. I thought Mark Hamil should have received it for Arkham Asylum. He has been doing Joker's voice for what, over ten years now? He needs to receive some credit for bringing animated Joker to life, and for doing it so dang well!

If only that were true. D:

I found it funny Jack Black won an award. I liked him in Brutal Legend, what little I played of him, but a quote someone said on another forum: "How did he win best voice actor for being himself? Doesn't voice acting mean act like someone else?" Made me chuckle.

Didn't watch the award show, but I'm not really surprised by any of these awards. . . As I was going through voting out of boredom, I was thinking to myself, "That one wins, no question. That one wins that. And that one wins that." Looks like a good amount of my predictions held true, which is both amusing and a bit sad.

yeah you really can't take em too seriously when they put LFD2 as best 360 game of the year when it's really a port of the PC version, did new stuff for the series, but not nearly enough to stand out THAT much. don't get me wrong, I love LFD2 but there were many, many better games that came out this year. though I do agree with ODST having the best musical score.

Looks like a bunch of awards for things that made middle aged men happy to me. LFD2 was fun to play but best of the year? Best Wii game to what, make older men relive their youth?
