The Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie category has been around for quite some time, though it was originally called Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie prior to 2015.

Previous winners include Ewan McGregor for Halston, Mark Ruffalo for I Know This Much Is True, Jharrel Jerome for When They See Us, Darren Criss for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, Riz Ahmed for The Night Of, Courtney B. Vance for The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Richard Jenkins for Olive Kitteridge, Benedict Cumberbatch for Sherlock: His Last Vow and Michael Douglas for Behind the Candelabra.

So. Well. Deserved.
