Ceremony information
Category changes
The academy announced some changes in the voting process for the 2026 edition:
• For the Best International Programme all voting members are allowed to vote for both the nominees and winners. • For the craft categories, an exemption was created to recognize rising international co-productions. Hence, a senior team member who is not UK-eligible can be eligible as long as at least 80% of the team holds UK eligibility.
