Variety Special and Special Class categories have been restructured into Variety Special (Live) — which would include award shows — and Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) — which would include pre-taped specials, reported variety.com.
The category for costumes for a period/fantasy series has been split into two categories: period costumes and fantasy/sci-fi costumes. The award for directing for non-fiction programming has been split as well, into directing for a documentary/nonfiction program and directing for a reality program.
