Notes
- ^ In 2000, Henry Winkler was nominated for the canceled NBC sitcom Battery Park. After learning his episode aired in June -- after the May 31 cut-off -- Winkler was ruled ineligible and sixth place finisher William H. Macy received the nomination in his place.
- ^ In 2016, Peter MacNicol was nominated for the HBO series Veep. His nomination was rescinded after it was determined that MacNicol had appeared in five out of ten episodes in the fifth season of Veep, violating the TV Academy's rule that to be ruled eligible for a guest acting category, a performer must have appeared in "less than 50 percent" of a season's episodes. Seventh place finisher Peter Scolari received the nomination in his place, going on to win the category.
