Ice-T Supa Gangsta award for.... something.  -  Man, drawing a blank on this one.
 
Best 'broken' game to spawn hilarious internet glitch videos. (or something similar)  - Like RDR and New Vegas come to mind.

"Best game Ryan, Jeff, Brad and Vinny paid under $10 for"
While it's a sound idea, what are the limitations to that?  I mean, most Live Arcade games are $10, but those go with Best Downloadable Game, right?  Beyond that, what other games are $10 other than shitty used games?  I doubt...for some reason...that the guys are buying shitty games for under $10 used. 
 
Despite that, I think it's a pretty novel idea.

Damn, you totally COULD make a category called "Best Developer That Used To Be With Activision in 2010".  That's fucking sad.

The Deadly Premonition Award for Worst Musical Cue of 2010 
 
quality of the actual game is immaterial, all that is necessary is a poorly-thought-out music cue

  1. Best Death in a Video Game (Hero and/or Villain) 
  2. Best NPC 
  3. Best Plot Twist 
  4. Best video game that should not work, but does (a la, the idea for the game sounds so bad, complex, or crazy that it should not work, but some how it does)  
  5. Best video game that should work, but didn't (similar to the one above, just the opposite of it)

" Best Late Titlecard Best Beard Best Musician Voicing a Character That's Not a Musician. "
Best Late Titlecard and Best Beard are both a great choice... 
 
Other suggestions; 
The New Mexico Landfill Award - awarded to the single most disappointing Gameroom release. 
The "Third Floor; Gameplay" Award - awarded to best use of hidden load screens. Could be adapted to best use of interactive load screens. 
GOTY Game of the Year.  Best Game of the Year Edition, of the year. Borderlands? Probably Borderlands. 
Best game with 'Party' in the title; wii party, guilty party; totally guilty, totally party.
