In 2020, it was announced that a separate Best Actor award (最佳男/女演员) was created, and will be awarded based on polling from a panel of judges. Audience's Choice for Actor (观众喜爱的电视剧男演员) will be awarded based solely on three rounds of internet voting. For the first time, web dramas were also included in the list of nominations.
