So ok, what I can't figure out, is why the hell does it matter?
Personally, my 2009 game of the year would have to be Uncharted 2. But I'm not gonna flip out about Giantbomb being sellouts if they go and give the award to Modern Warfare 2. During last years Game of the Year podcast, they deliberated back and forth between Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4. They ended up giving the award to GTA because they jsut simply had more fun playing it as a game.
Obviously, if you're not having fun at a Big-Name game (MW2!) then you won't like it. Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, and Brad are by far the four most honest gaming journalists that I've ever come across. They aren't going to not give out an award because they think it might harm their reputation. They are going to give out the best awards to the games that they think are most deserving. Â

Also, and this is just a sidenote.... Super Mario Galaxy was not 2007's GOTY, that award goes to Bioshock in my book.
