They added \u201cfan favorite\u201d categories, \u00e0 la MTV Awards, and they kicked several creative categories to an un-televised pre-show event. They included a performance of the overrated song \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d from \u201cEncanto,\u201d even though it wasn\u2019t nominated for anything. None of it mattered.
