The 59th Baeksang Arts Awards will be held on April 28th.
The 59th Baeksang Arts Awards will be held at Paradise City, Incheon from 5:30 pm on the 28th of this month, and will be broadcast live simultaneously on JTBC, JTBC2, and JTBC4, and digitally broadcast on TikTok.
Baeksang Arts Awards, the only comprehensive art awards ceremony in Korea that encompasses TV, film, and theater, places top priority on professionalism and fairness and selects candidates through a strict screening. In order to refer to various voices, a preliminary survey was conducted by 60 professional evaluators in the industry, and judges for each category appointed on the recommendation of a group of experts representing TV, film, and theater decide the final candidates through a fierce screening process.
The targets for this year’s screening are content provided on terrestrial, comprehensive, cable, OTT, and the web from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023, as well as Korean feature films and plays performed domestically during the same period.
In the TV category, at least four episodes of content provided on terrestrial, general, cable, OTT, and web, and in the case of serial works, only works that have been broadcast for more than one-third of the screening date are included. However, works that were excluded during last year’s candidate screening period will be classified for this year’s screening.
The film section also targets Korean feature films released in Korea around the same time. Directors who debuted with feature films during the screening period are eligible for the New Director Award category. In both the TV and film categories, the criteria for newcomer nominations is that there are no more than 3 main or supporting actors in a certain amount in each category, regardless of the debut year.
In the theater category, the screening period is the same, and the Young Play Award, Acting Award, and Baeksang Play Award are awarded.
Meanwhile, candidates for each category of the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards can be found on the official website on April 7th.
