Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie

This is a list of the winners of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Made for Television Movie, which is awarded since 1992. The category was originally called Outstanding Drama/Comedy Special.^[1]

In 1991, the Outstanding Miniseries category was merged with Outstanding Drama/Comedy Special (television movies) to form Outstanding Drama/Comedy Special and Miniseries and the number of nominees increased from five to six.^[2] For this year, two miniseries had competed with four "made for television movies". The following year, 1992, the new category was split to re-form the Outstanding Miniseries and Outstanding Made for Television Movie categories.

In 2011 the category was merged with the Miniseries category to create the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie.^[3] However, in 2014, the decision was reversed, and the separate Miniseries and Television Movie categories were reinstated.^[4]
