This.
And the best things this medium can give us are yet to come!
They need to publish on EW site,maybe the guy don't buy EW magazines.
For those interested, I took the # of awards for each game, and added them up, to come up with a total # of awards for each year, per this site:
https://gotypicks.blogspot.com/2008/12/2003-game-of-year.html I then used those totals, and found the % of GOTY awards for the two 2-4 each year, depending on how close the top was.
2017: Total awards: 333 LOZ: BOTW - 56.7% Horizon Zero Dawn (second) - 15.62%
2016: 410 Uncharted 4 - 40.24% Overwatch - 24.88%
2015: 439 Witcher 3 - 58.54% Fallout 4 - 13.21%
2014: 410 Dragon Age: Inquisition - 32.68% Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor - 11.95%
2013: 523 The Last of Us - 47.61% GTA V - 30.59%
2012: 385 The Walking Dead: The Game - 19.48% Journey - 14.81% Far Cry 3 - 13.25% Dishonored - 12.73%
2011: 403 Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim - 56.33% Portal 2 - 14.39%
2010: 291 RDR - 38.14% Mass Effect 2 - 34.71%
2009: 213 Uncharted 2 - 52.11% Batman: Arkham Asylum - 14.08%
2008: 204 Fallout 3 - 33.82% GTA IV - 19.12% MGS IV - 18.63%
2007: 158 Bioshock - 29.75% Super Mario Galaxy - 28.48%
2006: 113 Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion - 35.40% Gears of War - 30.09% LOZ: TP - 23.01%
2005: 61 RE 4 - 57.38% Shadow of the Colossus - 9.84%
2004: 55 Half-Life 2 - 38.18% Halo 2 - 20.00%
2003: 39 Star Wars: KOTOR - 46.15% LOZ: WW - 20.51%
This is based off of the awards reported on the site above, taking the total awards for a particular game as shown at the bottom of a page, and dividing by the total number of awards that I calculated for a particular year. Rounding was done using normal rounding methods. Becomes fairly obvious which years had more of a consensus pick, versus the years where it was split evenly between a couple (or more) entries.
Just an FYI, due to the conversation being had earlier in the thread.

I know,EW is every year,what I said is on Entertainment Weekly 's site,when EW publish on their,the guy will see and update I am sure.
If this isn't salt, you sure do a poor job of convincing otherwise.
A majority of the fan base wanted a change and was tired of the 'dumb fun' which we got plenty of. I think post like this are selfish really. The old formula is reserved with older GOW games, and honestly, it was a mash-up of different action games, it's not an original formula like DMC or Ninja Gaiden or anything that defined a specific control scheme. The things that God of War defines is still represented in its current game.
This and the SSM crew with Shannon being on stage, taking the GOTY award. Feel good moment and the perfect ending for the TGA show.
lol that was a dark year.
The funny thing is that Dark Souls 2, Watch Dogs, Destiny and Titanfall all came out that year, and yet they all ended up being disappointing in one way or another.
But Mordor and DA:I winning so many awards over those games looks silly now. Destiny, DS2 and TF are all better video games. Watch Dogs is on par i would say.
