The ceremony marks considerable changes for the Saturn Awards ; although the awards had rewarded solely works from the previous year until 2016 , when the eligibility was changed from works of the previous year to works released from March of the previous year to February of the current year , the eligibility was , for this ceremony , extended to March of the previous year to early July of the current one . It is also the first Saturn Award ceremony not to be held in Burbank since 2009 , and the second one to be aired on television after the 1978 ceremony ( although their streaming partner has yet to be announced ) . It also marked major changes for the categories : most notably , series were split into two different sets of categories , television and " Streaming " , for web television series released on streaming/video on demand services such as Netflix or Hulu ( films released on those platforms are also eligible for the acting categories ) . The latter had their number of Best Series awards ( previously limited to Best New Media Television Series and Best New Media Superhero Series ) extended ; although they had previously shared acting categories with traditional television , Streaming series also now get their own . However , certain categories for television are not present for Streaming , or have been fused into one , resulting in seven categories compared to twelve for traditional television . In addition , the award for Best Television Presentation , which existed since 1995 , was removed
