Just two weeks after BAFTA announced a series of sweeping changes to its film awards rules following a major seven-month internal review, the British Academy has done the same for TV.
While nowhere near as comprehensive as for film — where more than 120 amendments to its voting, membership and campaigning processes were unveiled —the changes for the TV awards are still sizeable, and come not simply in response to the review but also the BAFTA television committee's annual assessment of its rules and guidelines across both the TV awards and TV craft awards.
Among the changes are the formal introduction of the BFI Diversity Standards for the TV and TV Craft awards following a successful pilot this year.
