Those new categories are: Choreography; Color Department; Craft Services; Health and Safety Department; Intimacy Coordination; Legal; Production Department; Production Finance and Accounting; Property Department; Publicity; Puppetry; and Voice Actor — Dubbing.” (via Marc Wielage)

“Now in its fifth year, the awards recognize outstanding color across six categories: Theatrical Feature, TV Series/Episodic, Commercial, Music Video, Spotlight and Emerging Talent. An independent jury of cinematographers, colorists and creatives … reviewed over 500 entries from 47 countries across the world to determine the 25 shortlisted colorists.”
