WGA Awards Nominations

WGA 2011 Best Comedy Nominees:


Not that it matters, prizes never really matter. But I really doubt that WGA has any notion of the term 'comedy'. Check out their 2011 nominees for Best Comedy TV Series:
30 Rock, Glee, Modern Family, Nurse Jackie, The Office.

It sounds like a list from couple of years back, doesn't it? Why would they put The Office on their list, and not the much better Parks and Recreation? Why would they even consider Nurse Jackie to be a comedy, and a best comedy? And Glee, they had better seasons.

If I was to write my 2011 Best Comedy nominees, It would have been something like:
Parks and Recreation
Community
Eastbound and Down
Modern Family
Terriers


OK, Terriers is not (or, was not) a comedy, but it's way funnier than Nurse Jackie.

Moving on to the next category.

WGA 2011 Best Drama Nominees:


And the nominees are...Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Friday Night Lights, Mad Men.

Couldn't agree more about most of that list, and especially it is great to see Breaking Bad there. The competition here is hard, and although I hope Breaking Bad will get the award, I'm afraid Friday Night Lights is a possible winner (a last chance to reward this show before its final fifth season ends), and it will be hard also not to give this award to Boardwalk Empire (it is also a nominee for Best New Series, but there the competition is even greater).

Since Breaking Bad has also two episodes on the Best Episode list, it may win there, giving the Best Drama to Friday Night Lights, and forcing Boardwalk Empire to go home with the Best New Series award.

I'll wait until February 5th with the smiles and the curses.
