All four series were also awarded CINE's Special Recognition for Series Television and become nominees for CINE's competitive awards, the CINE Special Jury Award and the CINE Masters Series Award, that recognize the best film and television series from among the CINE Golden Eagle Award winners. Both awards will be announced in 2013.
