Most companies post about the Ennies when they are nominated or receive one, which makes one believe they have some importance. Searching for those posts or press releases would be a good idea probably.
On a quick search I found this quote from Paizo blog in 2007:
"Last week, the ENnie Award nominees for 2007 were announced. For those of you who live under rocks or just returned from a long trip in space, the ENnie Awards were started by the folks over at ENworld to reward the best in roleplaying each year. Winning an ENnie is very prestigious in our industry."

Seems pretty well suited for the argument at Wikipedia
