Two-time Academy Award winner Jessica Lange, who played Fiona Goode in "American Horror Story: Coven", pipped others like Sarah Paulson " "American Horror Story: Coven", Helena Bonham Carter ("Burton And Taylor"), Minnie Driver ("Return To Zero"), Kristen Wiig ("The Spoils Of Babylon") and Cicely Tyson (The Trip To Bountiful").

The outstanding supporting actress in a mini-series or movie honour was bagged by Kathy Bates for her role as Madame Delphine LaLaurie in "American Horror". Martin Freeman walked away with the outstanding supporting actor title for "Sherlock: His Last Vow", which also won the outstanding writing for a mini-series, movie or a dramatic special for Steven Moffat.

In the outstanding directing for a mini-series, movie or a dramatic special category, Colin Bucksey received the trophy for "Fargo".
