I've nominated Mark Lee in the past, for his contributions to GWWC and the leadership within the THINK project.

My 5cents:

1)You nominate a person to give them 1 million dollars no strings attached. Not so they give a TED talk. 1 Million dollars is worth way more than giving a TED talk, believe me, I gave one. 2) Eliezer would not win, perhaps Nick Bostrom would stand a small chance for existential risk. But I would try an Oldscholer like Marvin Minsky, with some project related to anti-ageing, which he likes quite a bit.
