2020 Ursa Major Awards

Marking the second time the Ursa Major Awards ceremony was not presented at a convention in as many years, the 2020 Ursa Major Awards was also presented via an online environment due to the same circumstances as the previous year's awards. The Best Dramatic or Short Work category was split into two, with Best Dramatic Series for video series and Best Dramatic Short Work for one shots, advertisements or specific episodes of television/video series.
