Henson for special achievement awards; when the competition for the “Best Use of AI and Technology for Creative Purposes” category rivals that of traditional film and television awards, we must face a fact: the rules of the digital industry have been rewritten, and the jury (the market and professional institutions) is crowning the architects of these new rules.
