most original
best gameplay
best graphics
etc, awards that could, and should really only be applied to original games in the first place

But what would that award really mean if that game really didn't have the best gameplay or graphics?

For that question to make sense one must presuppose the existence, or possible existence, of a fan game that had the best graphics, gameplay, or originality. Obviously it would fail on the last count no matter what other innovations it had anyway. As for the others, well, the field for fan games with those strengths is pretty thin. To loosely quote the Simpsons:
Lisa: You have a secret door in your freezer? But what if somebody wanted a non-alcoholic beer?
Apu: You know, that has never come up.
In other words, if the awards were restricted to non-fan games, the results would be no different. It'd merely save the judges a lot of hassle by pre-screening bogus entries.

For an in-depth explanation of why you're wrong on that, go read "I Hate Zelda" on IainPeregrine's blog. Just because games tend to take inspiration from each other, or otherwise use very common elements of gameplay, doesn't make them unoriginal. Zillions of games with cards and dice exist; obviously there is no one single original card game, one single original dice game.

Originality is more about the content than presentation, and that's the context it was used in here. Fan games are unoriginal by definition because they draw on someone else's characters, story, etc. to work.

Just to be realistic, I honestly haven't seen a non-fangame on byond with better graphics then the fangame in my blog. Not that that game will actually ever come out, but there you have the existence of such content you thought about.
who will decide to add this or not ?

Tom ? <_< ??

It's already been decided that if this will be added, it's not going to be official.
