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.

Alternatively, simply have movies compete against themselves for overall supremacy and make the animation/art categories open to TV series only.

I don't really have any reason to believe that movies are inherently at advantage here.

Any year a big name release from someone like Shinkai or Hosoda is out there, it's going to dominate. In budget terms there's simply no comparison between TV anime and theatrical films - it's like a drag race between a production car and a custom-built F1. Made in Abyss should have won the category, that would be my point - the fact that it "only" lost by a moderate amount rather than a landslide is not a good defense of the status quo, IMHO.
