In 1991, Outstanding Drama or Comedy Special category was merged with Outstanding Miniseries category to form Outstanding Drama or Comedy Special and Miniseries and the number of nominations 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 Outstanding Limited Series category to create the Outstanding Miniseries or Movie category.[3] However, in 2014, the decision was reversed, and the separate Miniseries and Television Movie categories were reinstated.[4] Rules were also changed in 2019 requiring at least a 75-minute runtime for movies to be eligible.[5]
In the history of this category, there has been four incidents of ties. The first occurred in 1976 when Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years tied with Sybil, the second occurred in 1989 when Day One tied with Roe vs. Wade, the third occurred in 1990 when Caroline? tied with The Incident, and the fourth occurred in 1993 when Barbarians at the Gate tied with Stalin.
