The Writers Guild of America announced their WGA Awards TV nominations for on Wednesday, February 3. After getting just one bid from the Golden Globes earlier in the day, AMC's "Better Call Saul" rebounded to top all shows with five nominations including for Drama Series along with Amazon Studios' "The Boys," Disney +'s "The Mandalorian" and Netflix's "The Crown" and "Ozark."
Hulu lands two shows in contention for Comedy Series with "The Great" and "PEN15," making the streaming service the only company to score multiple nominees in the category. They are joined by HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" and FX's "What We Do in the Shadows."
Another notable feat belongs to "The Simpsons," which dominates the animation category with four of the six nominations. Despite premiering over 30 years ago, the FOX series shows no signs of writer's fatigue. "Bob's Burgers" and "BoJack Horseman" were the only other animated series to slide into the category.
Film screenplay nominees will be announced on February 16. The WGA Awards winners will be revealed on March 21 during a virtual ceremony.
