TV writing nods announced
The Writers Guilds announced nominations Wednesday for outstanding television writing during 2005, including three new award categories for excellence in episodic writing.
Nominations for best writing of a dramatic series went to HBO’s “Deadwood” and “Six Feet Under,” ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Lost,” and NBC’s “The West Wing.” The sitcoms that got nods for best comedy series writing included some of the genre’s most inventive fare: Fox’s “Arrested Development,” HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Entourage,” and NBC’s “My Name Is Earl” and “The Office.”
In the last new category, reserved for best writing in a new series, nominees included UPN’s “Everybody Hates Chris,” ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” NBC’s “My Name Is Earl” and “The Office,” and HBO’s “Rome.”
Winners will be announced Feb. 4 at award ceremonies at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and the Waldorf-Astoria in New York.
