(Ansvarsfraskrivelse: «Lead actor» og «supporting actor» blir ofte oversatt med «hovedrolle» og «birolle», som er rart ettersom det ikke er rollen som er nominert, men skuespilleren. Vi går derfor for «hovedskuepiller» og «supportskuespiller», selv om det for noen lyder rart. Miniserier, eller «limited series», defineres som serier med egne historier innenfor én sesong og/eller med skuespillere som byttes etter én sesong.)
