So what's with the Steam Game Awards and why are they all wrong?

I just filled them out for the cards an whatnot, and with each passing award, my response increasingly became, "What the hell is this set and why are these games in contention for it?" Highlights that caught my eye:

GAME OF THE YEAR

RESIDENT EVIL 2- It's a goddamn remake. A fairly conservative one at that. Still, compared to the nonsense that is the other six candidates for this award, it's I guess defensible, even if the slot should go to something that actually originated in this year.

JEDI: FALLEN ORDER: Hey now, just because EA did the bare minimum and let their companies make a game doesn't mean we should just roll out the red carpet. It's still just Uncharted meets Force Unleashed with a bit of Dark Souls woven in there (or tacked on if you're a less charitable sort). It's a decent video game, but it's not exactly one with aspirations or dreams.

DESTINY 2: Is Valve taking the piss out of the current state of the industry? 'Cause that's the best excuse I can think of for this hollow mess of a skinner box being nominated for any award. Nominating Destiny 2 for Game of the Year is acceptable only if you're making commentary on the broken mess that the AAA gaming landscape has become.

LABOR OF LOVE:

CSGO and DOTA: Insert picture of Obama placing an award on Obama here.

GRAND THEFT AUTO 5: I'm fucking sorry, have you seen the predatory nightmare that is that game's pay to win multiplayer? Have you taken a goddamn look at it? This isn't a labor of love, this is a calculated parasite.

OUTSTANDING STORY RICH GAME

FARCRY NEW DAWN: What.

GEARS OF WAR 5: I am unable to word this nonsense. This is like finding one of those lovecraftian nonsense geometries but instead of going insane it just makes you reevaluate how much cognition plasma donation drains you of. A Gears game? Being commended on it's plot? Who put this one forward, Kevin the illiterate inbred who has never seen a TV show, movie, or any other form of media until his city slicker cousin-uncle (cousuncle for short) brought the XBOX 1 over and dazzled the clan with the shiny, dull grey and brown lights? Did selling my fluids actually make me high, and the award went to some game that actually has characters and a story that goes somewhere?

I realize that this sounds like way more intense bitching than I probably intend it to, and my stance is generally more confusion than actual annoyance at a meaningless award ceremony. It mostly just took me for a ride seeing this nonsense unfold on my screen. Like, I had serious issues with all of the games on the award screen except like Disco Elysium and the non-Pedro Innovation candidates and the VR ones because I don't VR, the above are just the ones that made me go most, "What the fuck?" in confusion.
