The Television Academy made several changes to this year's Emmy Awards.
The outstanding scripted variety series and outstanding talk series categories were combined into a single outstanding variety series category following a decline in submissions in both categories in recent years.
The outstanding television movie category was also renamed outstanding movie, while changes were made to several other categories, including short form, sound mixing and music.
The Television Academy also introduced the Legacy Award this year to recognize television programs that have made a lasting impact on audiences and remain relevant to society, culture and the industry.
"I Love Lucy" became the first program to receive the honor during the Sept. 6 Emmy ceremony.
