Notes
- In 2017, Hala Bahmet, Marina Ray and Elinor Bardach were nominated for the NBC series This Is Us. The nomination was rescinded after it was determined that the submitted episode "Moonshadow" was primarily set in the 1970s, violating the TV Academy's rule that "more than 50 percent" of the episode must be contemporary (within 25 years of the air date). Sixth place finisher House of Cards became the fifth nominee.
