Gamespot had a recent interview with the lead engineer of the game in regards to how the Play of the Game award works and why Zenyatta was hogging up the award the most.

Quote:
Hamilton talks about how the concept is meant to catch moments that "slipped by," and cause players to "bond" together, but the system that's tasked with actually figuring out said moments "isn't smart." To tweak it, the team looks at patterns and adjusts accordingly -- for instance early on Zenyatta was blowing it up due to his ultimate, which heals an alarming amount and basically boosted his numbers above everyone else.

Noting that they will "continue to improve it," more love for supports like Mercy is specifically mentioned. For those of you who are curious how to better improve your chances of getting features he also specifically states, "a snipe of someone half a screen away who was just chilling out and waiting to be headshot won't be weighted as heavily as a Tracer zipping across, barely in sight that you manage to pick off."
