About this record

Outstanding Television Movie was first awarded in 2014, so it does not run the full 1951–2025 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.
