Every Emmys Outstanding Television Movie winner

12 ceremonies, 2014–2025. 12 different winners.

Outstanding Television Movie was first awarded in 2014, so it does not run the full 2000–2025 window.

This is the same race as the pre-2011 Outstanding Made for Television Movie, brought back under a shorter name after three years in which movies and miniseries shared one category.

It took over from Outstanding Made for Television Movie.

One band per year, because no winner has gone back-to-back in the years on record. Colored by network; scroll sideways for the full run.
