RDR took home Best Art Direction, Character Performance for John Marston, Gameplay Engineering, Game Direction, and Action Game. I'm actually quite surprised it wasn't nominated for Best Story. While I still would have given it to Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption's story was remarkable.
Mass Effect 2 took home Best Story, RPG, and the overall award for Game of the Year. These are well-deserved winners, both games are masterpieces and fully deserving of the praise they get.
I was sad to not see Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Bayonetta mentioned more but that's just me. I was glad to see Limbo get recognized and while I think Heavy Rain had quite a few flaws, it was still a strong game that was worthy of awards.
Also last night, BioWare co-founders, Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk, got inducted into the AIAS Hall of Fame. This is a great honor for two men who started a company that has gone 16 years without a bad game on its record. They revolutionized the WRPG with Baldur's Gate and haven't slowed down since.
