The 50th Saturn awards were preceded by the 46th Saturn Awards, held in 2021. The decision to rebrand what would have been the "47th Saturn Awards" to the "50th Saturn Awards", was made in order to celebrate 50 years of the Saturn Awards, which were founded in 1972.[11]
This year, several new television categories were introduced. For the first time since the 45th Saturn Awards, the television awards were split into "Network / Cable" and "Streaming" categories; however, this was discontinued the following ceremony. Disney+ received the most nominations with 26 for "Streaming", followed by Netflix with 17; AMC dominated the nominations for "Network / Cable" with 17.[6][12][13]
