In early May, the Academy announced that the winners would be announced in a series of livestreams in the week of May 25 to May 28.[7] The first livestream, on May 25, presented the awards in news, sports and documentary categories.[8] Children's, youth, lifestyle and reality programming were presented on May 26,[9] scripted television programming was presented on May 27,[10] and films were presented on May 28.[11] Both CBC Television and CTV assisted the Academy in the production of the livestreams.
