Something other than the obligatory Pokémon picks: [2473] DOS Jetpack by slamo in 32:22.55, which contains some crazy teleporter manipulation in some of its stages.

Actually, he has Gyrados starting from the encounter in Pokemon Tower. Also this means Clefable's physical attacks wouldn't be weakened (although I'm not sure would that be enough to kill anything without critical hit).
I stand corrected. But still, since Squirtle requires crit Bubble for Geodude and Onix, that means Charmander's crit Ember would be like a 3HKO at least. (I don't have the exact numbers on hand.) It'd cost a lot of time there.

I nominate Got4n. His published movie list actually seems a bit underwhelming for his many projects and ambition. Also, having worked with him (to some extent), he's also a really nice person to work with.
I'll also put up £e Nécroyeur, who has created some really solid runs.

I nominate theenglishman for his excellent work on Metal Gear Solid and VR Missions.
Hoandjzj also made some fun TASes (in my opinion), so I nominate him too.

MESHUGGAH wins on sheer quantity of runs. Other runners' totals look tiny in comparison. I can't really see a whole lot of competition here.

Another stage done:
Link to videoUser movie #11672459259959898
To elaborate about the route:
There are six main stages/bosses. (They're unnamed in-game (or anywhere for that matter), so I in my notes I just call them "Fire", "Plasma", "Wood", "Bird", "Drill" and "Ice" - this should generally be descriptive enough). Four of the stages have upgrades in them (Arm, Leg, Body, and Head). An important note is that getting an upgrade causes Zook to leave the stage and go to the stage select screen, and you must go through the whole stage again to defeat the boss and get its weapon. For this reason, getting an upgrade is functionally counted as a separate stage.
To access the semifinal stage, all 6 bosses must be defeated and all 4 upgrades must be acquired. After beating that stage (which includes the boss rush), the final stage can be accessed.
The game has no concept of weaknesses on bosses; every boss weapon does the same amount of damage to every boss. So my first priority is getting the Arm upgrade (or "equip for wrist", as the game itself puts it), as it allows charging boss weapons, which does more damage per hit. Getting the Arm upgrade, which is in Ice's stage, requires Fire's weapon. So Fire is defeated first, and the Arm upgrade is obtained second.
The next priority is getting the Leg upgrade, as it can save frames occasionally whenever an airdash could be useful. The Leg upgrade is in Plasma's stage, but requires Drill's weapon. So the third stage is Drill, and the fourth is getting the Leg upgrade in Plasma.
The fifth stage to go is Plasma (again) to get the Plasma weapon. Charged Plasma is the biggest shot in the game, so it's quickest to hit the bosses with on the first hit. This is only a difference of a few pixels/frames, but it's still something. After this, essentially anything goes - none of the other weapons are needed for anything, and the other upgrades aren't needed for anything either. (Body upgrade is in Drill's stage, requires Plasma's weapon, and cuts damage in half, but that isn't really needed anywhere. Head upgrade is in Fire's stage and doesn't have any requirement, but it also doesn't seem to do anything). The latter half of the initial stages I just arranged for minimal repetitiveness or just for fun.
So the route is:
Fire (boss)
Ice (Arm upgrade, needs Fire)
Drill (boss)
Plasma (Leg upgrade, needs Drill)
Wood (boss)
Bird (boss)
Plasma (boss)
Drill (Body upgrade, needs Plasma)
Ice (boss)
Fire (Head upgrade)
Final Stage 1
Final Stage 2
EDIT: Turns out with the arm upgrade, fully charged buster does the same damage (3) as charged boss weapons, so using boss weapons likely won't even matter for the bossfights. So for variety's sake, Plasma boss will be done later.

Well, I gave it my best shot. Maybe I'll get around to making a second version some day, but I don't know when that'll be. On the bright side, we have a point of reference for this game now.
I'd like to see a fully optimized run of this game done. It's a fun lil' speedy game/run.
