Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries is the most prestigious of all the awards annually presented. It represents excellence in the category of miniseries that are considered either six hours or more, or more than two parts.
What has been unique about this award in recent years is that there almost always has been at least one nominee that is a British miniseries (originating from Great Britain). For example, the 2005 winner was The Lost Prince, which happened to be that year's British entry. The 2006 winner, Elizabeth I, was also a British miniseries, although it was a co-production with American television network HBO.
