"Best" as in "good, but still rejected :(" or "so very bad, it deserved to be nothing but rejected"?
Maybe both. Guess it's up to alden *nudge nudge*
Maybe Most Promising (with improvements) and Most Dubious Game Choice
In lieu of making it official maybe I'll just release a list of deserving entries.
If I ever update the damn page. :P
I'd love to see something like "Best never officially submitted TAS"...
There are some gems made last year which were never submitted, such as zggzdydp's "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night", alden's "Wally Bear & the NO Gang", RattleMan's "Mario Party" and probably some others too.

How about "Most Controversial submission"?
That would be really interesting, but people who were involved in those submissions probably don't want to bring those controversies back again... :P
You're just fucking stupid, everyone hates you, sorry to tell you the truth. no one likes you, you're someone pretentious and TASes only to be on speed game, but don't have any hope, you won't get there.

This topic briefly becomes a confusing mass of random posts due to trying to cram all the nomination topics together. Tricky to read through.
I'm probably breaching etiquette, like Warp was pointing out earlier, but I'd like to nominate my Metroid 2 run for the glitched category. It demonstrates a game that's been gltiched to no end, but does so without jumping to the end like most glitched runs do. Condenses the action instead of skipping it.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

If you can't self-nominate - I'll nominate for FW. This was a great glitch-tastic run.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

I automatically read that as "great glitch-tastic classic."
I'll be sure to check out that run.
I can't seem to think of a lot of runs that came out. I'll probably give my votes later.

I really like mz's idea of "best never officially submitted TAS" and I'd like to throw in a nomination for Swordless Link's 16-star SM64.
Perhaps another category to have could be "contributor of the year" (a less ambiguous title would be good too) to award to a user that hasn't submitted any TASes this year but has contributed substantially to many published runs through help and support to the authors. Also, on that note awarding to other aspects of the site such as coder/publisher/encoder of the year would be cool too. Perhaps a "best first-generation run" (a movie that doesn't obsolete another) or a "most surprising obsoletion". Also, since most of the nominations are of popular games it might be cool to have a "best TAS of a hidden-gem/non famous game" although this would probably be too arbitrary to properly apply (or maybe "best non-franchise TAS"?). Just a few ideas...
