To me it looks like they just took a look at the best selling games of this year and gave them awards. The BAFTA's aren't about video games and I don't feel like we should expect the coverage of an award show mainly based around movies to actually be any good.
I guess the coverage of this comes from the fact so many people seem to want games to get the same recognition that films and television get, so they put a lot of weight on the what games the a large event like the BAFTA's give awards to. However in my opinion who BAFTA's grant the awards to doesn't matter, because most people don't watch the BAFTA's for the video games(stereotyping a bit here) so it's unlikely that they put much effort into actually choosing the winners.
In this situation we should look at what awards were given by our own media, who are all likely much more qualified to decide what the best games are than the BAFTA committee.
