Small change I'd like to see this year - TAS of the Year should not also win Platform TAS of the Year, and that should instead go to the 2nd runner up for that Platform. I'd like to know if people agree with me.
Agreed, although there may be other interesting options.

A second, probably less popular idea, would be to prevent the same TAS from winning multiple categories, such as Glitchy and Innovative, or etc.
Disagreed as long as the movie actually deserves to be represented in its respective categories. Admittedly that's not always the case.
I'd also suggest not nominating new iterations of the runs that have previously received awards for the same award categories; i. e., S3&K any% has received Sega TAS of the year for two years in a row (2007 & 2008), but surely it didn't become much worse (or at all different) since then, and, granted that it's accepted for nominations this year as well, it's a very strong competitor many other Sega runs just can't go up against. Same with SMB3, MM2, and other such games. With N64, it's always going to be won by OoT and SM64 because those two are by far the most popular titles on the platform. Less popular games, and thus their TASes, get overshadowed as a result, which I don't believe is fair.

For the record, I see absolutely no reason to dismiss or change the established TAS of the year and none of these arguments have convinced me otherwise. My vote, for what it's worth, is to keep TAS of the year.
