WGA Awards tonight
Feb. 11th, 2018 12:15 pmThe winners of the WGA Awards will be announced tonight, so here are the links and descriptions of my posts at Crazy Eddie's Motie News about the nominees.
'Game of Thrones,' 'The Handmaid's Tale,' and 'Stranger Things' nominated for Drama Series at the 2018 WGA Awards
In addition to "Game of Thrones," "The Handmaid's Tale," and "Stranger Things" being nominated for Drama Series, "The Handmaid's Tale" earned a nomination for New Series. "American Horror Story: Cult" is the sole speculative fiction in Long Form Original. Short Form New Media Adapted has episodes of speculative fiction series as three of its four nominees, two episodes of "Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot" and one of "The Walking Dead: Red Machete"..."The Leftovers" earned a nomination for Episodic Drama...Competing against it is "The OA."
Three shows, "Bob's Burgers," "BoJack Horseman," and "The Simpsons," occupy all five slots in Animated Series, as "BoJack Horseman" and "The Simpsons" have two episodes each nominated. Two shows with fantastic elements, "Just Add Magic" and "The Magical Wand Chase: A Sesame Street Special," earned nominations for Childrens Episodic and Specials.
Celebrate National Screenwriters Day with science and speculative fiction among WGA film nominees
"The Shape of Water" and "Get Out" have been nominated in every major awards show so far, the 2018 Critics' Choice Movie Awards, AFI Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and SAG Awards. I should not be surprised that their excellence began with a great original script...."Logan" is the sole speculative fiction nominee among the adapted screenplay nominees.
I'm rooting for all the speculative fiction nominees, although I suspect "The Handmaid's Tale" will beat both "Stranger Things" and "Game of Thrones."
