# List of awards and nominations received by Black Mirror

Black Mirror is a British science fiction anthology series created by Charlie Brooker. From 2011 to 2013, the first two series aired on British network Channel 4, as did the special "White Christmas" (2014); the following four series were released on the American streaming platform Netflix from 2016 to 2023. There are twenty-seven episodes in the show's first six series, and an additional interactive film Bandersnatch (2019). Inspired by The Twilight Zone, each episode of Black Mirror is standalone and explores the common theme of technology and its side-effects.
Black Mirror has received positive reception from critics and has been nominated for ninety-nine awards, winning twenty-nine of them. The most acclaimed episodes are "USS Callister", which won four Emmy Awards, and "San Junipero", which won two. Additionally, the interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch won two Emmy Awards. As actors rarely appear in more than one episode, the only people to receive multiple awards for their work on the show are writer Charlie Brooker, who has won seven, and executive producer Annabel Jones, who has won four. The series has been nominated for twenty-four British Academy Television Awards, winning four, and fifteen Emmy Awards, winning nine.

## Emmy Awards

Emmy Awards are given by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, an organisation founded in 1946, for television shows broadcast or available for download and streaming in America. The main award ceremony is the Primetime Emmy Award, whilst Creative Arts Emmy Awards are given in technical, creative and craft categories, and International Emmy Awards are presented to shows airing outside of the U.S.
Black Mirror won three consecutive awards in the Outstanding Television Movie category. In 2018, submissions were required to have a runtime of 75 minutes or more; Bandersnatch won with a nominal runtime of 90 minutes. Netflix also petitioned for "Smithereens" to be submitted in 2020, despite a 70-minute runtime. This was initially allowed, but it was later entered as Outstanding Drama Series instead. Critics for IndieWire disagreed that the series should have been eligible in the category as it is episodic; rule changes have been attributed to Black Mirror's success. In 2021, the Limited Series category expanded to include anthology series.
