Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie

The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie is a retired category of Primetime Emmy Awards, given out to the best miniseries or television film between 2011 and 2013.

The award was created in 2011 when the Miniseries and Television Movie categories were merged. The merger was largely due to the decline in miniseries production in the past decade. In the final ten years of the miniseries category, it was able to fill all five nomination slots only twice, with the final two ceremonies only having two nominees. [1] However, in 2014, the decision was reversed, and the separate Miniseries and Television Movie categories were reinstated.[2]

A similar incident had happened in 1991 when the Outstanding Miniseries and the Outstanding Drama/Comedy Special (television movies) categories were merged to form the new Outstanding Drama/Comedy Special and Miniseries category and the number of nominees increased from five to six.[3] For this year, 2 miniseries had competed with 4 made for TV movies. The following year, 1992, the new category was split to re-form the Outstanding Miniseries and Outstanding Made for Television Movie categories.
