2015 Writers Guild of America (WGA) Nominations for TV, Streaming, News & Radio

Streaming formats like Netflix and Amazon were big winners today as the Writers Guild of America announced their nominations for television, streaming media, news and radio. Amazon’s Transparent and Netflix shows Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Narcos and Bloodline landed nominations in multiple categories.

New shows fared very well too, especially USA’s Mr. Robot, which landed Drama Series and New Series nominations and AMC’s Better Call Saul, which got mentions in Drama Series, New Series and Episodic Drama. Stalwarts Game of Thrones, Mad Men and The Good Wife were also represented as well as critical hits The Americans and The Leftovers.

Winners will be announced at the WGA Awards on February 13th, 2016 during simultaneous ceremonies in New York City (for WGA East) and Los Angeles (for WGA West).
