The awards also celebrate film and television industry legends who have long served in various fields of the industry through the Special Lifetime Achievement award.
The committee has decided to honour presenters by creating a Best Presenter in TV Non-Fiction award.

This will ensure that the best talents are honoured in the right categories.
