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".
 
"Fargo", a dark comedy-crime drama TV series, was named the best min-series and "The Normal Heart", based on a play of the same name, got the award for the outstanding television movie.
