Having half of the first winners from the same field, considering that they will also constitute the committee that will choose the next winners, brings a pretty big risk to keep these awards biased. But even theories that are not proved correct can advance human knowledge, by giving inspiration to other theories - even in different fields. So, in my opinion, an award for that kind of work could be useful in advancing science even if it doesn't award proven theories.
