In January 2014, it was revealed that TV Week had eliminated some categories in a bid to shorten the ceremony. The categories for Most Popular New Male Talent and Most Popular New Female Talent were merged into the Most Popular New Talent category to become gender non-specific. The Most Popular Factual Program category was also eliminated and the Most Outstanding New Talent category was renamed Most Outstanding Newcomer.
Nominations were announced in two stages on 31 March 2014; the peer-voted Most Outstanding categories were published in the issue of TV Week that hit newsstands in the morning, while the Most Popular categories were announced in the afternoon at the nominations event in Melbourne, which was hosted by Julia Morris and Chris Brown and attended by network stars.
