Voting has begun for the 2016 Home Media Magazine Awards, annually hosted by the industry magazine to honor the best releases on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Here's a list of the categories related to multi-episodes TV shows, and their nominees:

Poldark: Season 1 (PBS)
Downton Abbey: Season 5 (PBS)
The Walking Dead: Season 5 (Anchor Bay)
Silicon Valley: Season 1 (HBO)
Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO)
Orange Is the New Black: Season 2 (Lionsgate)
Empire: Season 1 (Fox)
Scandal: Season 4 (Disney/ABC)

Best Older TV Show on Disc

Best AV Quality/TV on Blu-ray
The Flash: Season 1 (Warner)
Boardwalk Empire: Season 5 (HBO)
Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO)
Orange Is the New Black: Season 2 (Lionsgate)
Note that HMM has made an apparent mistake: in the "Best Complete TV Series Set" they list That '70s Show as a release from Fox; the 2015 release of that item (which was on Blu-ray Disc, and a great set at that!) was from Mill Creek Entertainment, not Fox.

There are other categories whose nominees mix TV shows and non-TV releases, such as the "Best Extras/Bonus Materials" category. There you'll see the TV shows include The Walking Dead: Season 5 (Anchor Bay), Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO), and Banshee: Season 2 (HBO). The "Best Box Art" category includes Aquarius (Anchor Bay), Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO), and The Knick: Season 1 (HBO). The "Best Packaging" category includes several TV shows:
The Gumby Show: The Complete 1950s TV Series (NCircle)
The Walking Dead: Season 5 Deluxe Edition (Anchor Bay)
Mad Men: The Complete Collection (Lionsgate)
Outlander: Season 1 Deluxe Edition (Sony Pictures/Cartamundi)
That '70s Show: The Complete Series (Mill Creek)
Mill Creek is correctly attributed by HMM for That '70s Show in that category! Fox's Lost in Space: The Complete Adventures gets nominated, however, in the "Best Restoration" category. And "Best Title Upgrade" includes a pair of HBO items: The Wire: The Complete Series Blu-ray and Game of Thrones: Season 1 Steelbook.
