The Golden Eagle Award for Best Television Motion Picture (Russian: Золотой Орёл для лучший игровой телевизионный фильм) is one of twenty award categories presented annually by the National Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences of Russia. It is one of the Golden Eagle Awards, which were conceived by Nikita Mikhalkov as a counterweight to the annual Nika Awards given by the Russian Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences.
Each year the members of the academy choose three nominees from among television films (movies directly released to television), which have been popular in Russia since the 1950s because of their inexpensive production. The movies therefore typically have only Russian titles. The category excludes motion pictures and documentaries, which have their own categories. The first film to be awarded was Spetsnaz. The category was not awarded in 2004 and 2005. The name of the award was changed to Golden Eagle Award for Best Telefilm or Mini-Series (up to 10 series) in 2006, which merged mini-series, awarded in 2004 and 2005 in a separate category, with telefilms. Since then, the award has been won only by mini-series; no telefilms have received the prize. The most recent award in 2012 was made to Белая гвардия, which is based on Mikhail Bulgakov's The White Guard. Gleb Panfilov holds the record for the most wins, with 2; other people with multiple nominations are Andrey Malyokov (with one win and one nomination), Vladimir Bortko (ditto) and Yuri Moroz (with two nominations but no wins).
