The Steam Awards are mostly just “what’s my favorite game” or “which game have I heard of” for all categories. It doesn’t matter if the game fits or not. For Wukong it’s additionally “where was the game made”, since it’s one of the few high profile Chinese games (outside of China) and Steam has a lot of Chinese users.
Wukong for best story? That game has more of a premise than a story. What are my Steam peeps smoking?
The rest is disappointing, but not surprising.

Yeah but the Chinese market absolutely flooded it with votes.
It’s probably all because it didn’t win the GOTY in the games awards so all the fanboys went to make their game win something.
The game is not goty material, and for how shitty the devs are, they don’t deserve crap.
Who cares about the GOTY?
I’d say Chinese people don’t.
They didn’t care so much they review bombed the winner…
And also Baldurs Gate 3 for some reason
And the lead dev didn’t care so much that he wrote a goty acceptance speech in the middle of the development cycle, then cried about not winning.
It was a translation error though
Oh so I guess the review bombing of BG3 that it kicked off was just a translation error also?
Part of it is that, part of it is gamers
