Audience awards
Nominees for the fan-voted Audience Choice award were announced on February 1. Although normally individual actors or personalities are nominated in the category, in 2022 the academy chose to honour shows.The audience choice award was actually won by a show that had not been officially listed as one of the ten nominees; the process for this category does permit "write-in" campaigns.
