Fringe, 30 Rock Pick up WGA Noms

The Writers Guild of America announced the nominees for best writing on television today and the list features some Nice Girls favorites. Friday Night Lights picked up a nomination in the Dramatic Series category while 30 Rock was nominated both as a whole for Comedy Series and for three individual episodes (“Succession”, “Cooter” and “Believe in the Stars”) for Episodic Comedy. Weeds, a favorite of Louise’s, also picked up a nomination for Comedy Series. While we don’t talk about it as much, the Nice Girls do watch Ugly Betty which had the episode “Crush’d” nominated for Episodic Comedy.

Meanwhile, new series Fringe and True Blood each picked up nominations under the New Series category, while Fringe also snagged a nomination for the pilot episode under the Long Form category.

The 2009 Writers Guild Awards – the WGA’s 61st anniversary awards show – will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2009, with simultaneous ceremonies at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles and the Hudson Theatre at the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York City.
