So just in case anyone else is having this issue still I found a solution that worked for me. I had two controllers plugged in to the console and one of them was an aftermarket controller. For some reason I thought maybe something with the two controllers being plugged in was messing it up and so I unplugged one of the controllers and what do ya know, it allowed me to finally continue beyond the stupid awards screen. Anyways, if you're still struggling with this try this and hopefully it works for ya!
