The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) has recently announced its finalists for the 10th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. Their awards are considered to be one of the most prestigious and important game-related award and being a finalist is already an honor. Anyhow, there are a lot of awards to dish out but we'll give you the more interesting and more popular categories. The Overall Game of the Year finalists are Gears of War, Wii Sports, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Guitar Hero 2, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The console game of the year almost has the same finalists as the Overall Game of the Year award, but instead of Elder Scrolls, Virtua Fighter 4 was the other finalists.
For the Outstanding Innovation in Gaming award the finalists are Wii Sports, Nintendo Brain Age, GoW, Viva Pinata, and Loco Roco. Loco Roco was also a finalist in the handheld game of the year with Elite Beat Agents, New Super Mario Bros., Brain Age, and Lego Star Wars II completing the list. Tekken: Dark Resurrection also picked up a nomination for Fighting Game of the Year.
As for the MMO category, Eve Online: Revelations, Guild Wars: Nightfall, DDO: Stormreach, and Auto Assault were deemed finalists. Surprisingly absent is Blizzard's World of Warcraft. And lastly, PC Game of the Year finalists are Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Company of Heroes, Battlefield 2142, Prey, and Age of Empires II: The Warchiefs.

Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs, not II.
I own a copy of GoW and enjoy it very much, but I think that it would be really inappropriate to win the Outstanding Innovation category. GoW is a very good game, but it simply takes existing gameplay mechanics and makes them work. It doesn't invent new ones.
