Notes
- As a juried award, nominees had to garner 50% approval to win the award. None of the nominees met the benchmark and no award was given.
- In 2010, Gaby Moreno and Vincent Jones were nominated for the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. After learning the same theme music had been submitted for the show the previous year, the theme was ruled ineligible and sixth place finisher Joseph LoDuca received the nomination.
