SundanceTV short State of the Union, starring Rosamund Pike and Chris O’Dowd, beat An Emmy for Megan, winning the Emmy for outstanding short-form comedy or drama series after initially being snubbed. In Season 1 of An Emmy for Megan, Megan Amram pointed out that the Emmys don't have a minimum length for short-form episodes, so she turned in an episode running less than 30 seconds. That likely prompted the Emmys to establish a minimum length of two minutes for the category this year. The rule change disqualified nominee Better Call Saul Employee Training: Madrigal Electromotive Security. Nick Hornby's and Stephen Frear's State of the Union ended up taking its place, and winning the Emmy.
