Does that mean no Movie category either? Because I wouldn't want that. Anime films often end up being some of my favourite of the year and I'd hate to not be able to vote for them when I know they're legitimately better (for, say a genre category).
I've always felt like the whole point of the awards was to raise awareness for shows you liked and to get them on other people's radar. I feel like it would be kinda counterproductive to remove an entire selection altogether. And as far as I'm aware of, films are only a controversial inclusion in the Visual & Animation category. It just seems kinda harsh to ban them from all the other categories too. At the very least, I'd like to have a Movie category.

Movies pose a special problem in that they are much less available for viewing (at least legally) than televised shows. I'm sure I'm not alone when I see movies in the list that I haven't heard of, never mind watched.

I can't say I'm aware of this problem. In terms of proportionality, I'd say my awareness and accessibility is about the same between films and TV shows.
Then again, I do make the eligibility lists every year...
