The <em>Star Trek</em> episode "The Menagarie" won the 1967 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. In 1993, <em>ST:TNG</em> broke a long run of wins by theatrical motion pictures when "The Inner Light" won the Hugo in Best Dramatic Presentation, and "All Good Things..." won in 1995. Showing that Star Trek didn't have an exclusive reservation on the category, the <em>Babylon 5</em> episode "The Coming of Shadows" won in 1996.<br/><br/>From 2004, the World Science Fiction Society split the Best Dramatic Presentation category into short form (primarily television episodes) and long form (primarily theatrical motion pictures). Since then, television episodes have won Hugo Awards nearly every year.
