Ceremony information[]
Starting with this ceremony, the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress were replaced by two new, gender neutral award categories: Outstanding Lead Performance and Outstanding Supporting Performance. Furthermore, a gender neutral award category for acting in a series, called Outstanding Performance in a New Series, was added. These three new categories each have up to ten nominees instead of the usual five. In addition to these changes to the acting categories, an award for Breakthrough Nonfiction Series was created for this ceremony.[12][13]
