Why should we? We don't give awards to games, we give them to TASes and TASers.

I think boct1584 meant along the lines of "best RPG TAS" or "best platformer TAS". Those might actually be better categories than splitting it by platform, as different genres of games are often very different in terms of how they're TASed, whereas the differences between platforms are quite technical.

Awards should be kept to a minimum and be meaningful. The last thing you want is to create a Boxing like situation where you have a bunch of paper champions.
