Changes on the 2025-2026 awards trail to look out for include major shifts for several awards bodies.

The Academy will implement its new Casting category this year, atop a rule change that requires members to see all nominated films in a specific bracket before casting a ballot for that grouping.

The Golden Globes further announced a new Best Podcast category for the upcoming ceremony, with controversial figures like Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan all landing on the 25-strong shortlist for eligibility earlier this year.
