Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries (Primetime Emmy Award)

Primetime Emmy Award

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries represents excellence in the category of miniseries that are considered either six hours or more, or more than two parts. What has been unique about this award in recent years is that there almost always has been at least one nominee that is a British miniseries originating from Great Britain. For example, the 2005 winner was The Lost Prince, which happened to be that year's British entry. The 2006 winner, Elizabeth I, was also a British miniseries, although it was a co-production with American television network HBO. Likewise, the 2009 winner, Little Dorrit, was a co-production of British and American companies. In 2011, due to a limited amount of numbers of miniseries in recent years, the academy merged this and the made for television movie category together by calling it the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. In 2014, the decision was reversed, and the separate Miniseries and Television Movie categories were reinstated.

Date Established : 1974
