Le nomination dei WGA (Writers Guild of America) Awards sono state annunciate ieri e gli show di Netflix si sono aggiudicati parecchie candidature.

I WGA Awards prendono in considerazione tutti gli show andati in onda tra l’1 dicembre 2012 e il 30 novembre 2013, per questo motivo tra i nominati compaiono serie in pausa da quasi sei mesi, ma che hanno ricevuto ottime critiche nella prima metà dell’anno. Tra le nuove serie, la più nominata è Orange Is The New Black, la nuova creazione di Jenji Kohan trasmessa da Netflix, che ottiene 4 nomination (best comedy series, best new series, e due nomination per best episodic comedy), ma divide il podio con Breaking Bad, anch’essa con 4 nomination all’attivo.

Tra le altre serie nominate si piazzano in ottima posizione Master Of Sex, Ray Donovan e The Good Wife, unico drama ad andare in onda su una rete broadcast ad aver ricevuto delle candidature, merito dell’ottima scrittura della serie che in questa quinta stagione sta dando il meglio di sé.

Tra le reti, chi ha ricevuto più candidature grazie alle sue serie, è proprio Netflix, che si porta a casa 6 nomination (4 per Orange Is The New Black e 2 per House Of Cards); segue AMC con 5 nomination (4 per Breaking Bad, che però non ottiene nessuna candidatura per il series finale, e 1 per Mad Men). Tra le comedy chi la fa da padrona restano le broadcast.

House Of Cards e The Good Wife scalzano dalla categoria best drama le due serie di HBO Game Of Thrones e Boardwalk Empire; l’unica candidatura che la rete riesce ad ottenere è quella di Veep.

La premiazione si terrà l’1 di febbraio.

Terminiamo con l’elenco delle candidature.
