Actually that is incorrect. The people voted on only two categories, Most Anticipated Game, and Character of the Year. Again I'm still puzzled how Claptrap won that, but anyway. A panel picks the rest. This was changed after a Call of Duty game got a big award one year despite only coming out a few weeks before the awards.
