Shortly after the Golden Globes announced its electees for TV’s best and brightest, the Writers Guild of America presented a significantly different level of play within its nominees for the upcoming WGA awards. In accordance with the uniqueness of the 2019 award season, the overlap between top series nominees and best episodic scrips is scarce.

Most of the big names are there, with a customary handful of first-timers. Its a night of highlighting the minds that pour out the story onto the page and conjure real-life telepathy with mere words. The unsung heroes of it all, the not-so-pretty faces, and the not-so-thin cats with the power of the pen amidst their side.

The nominations are listed below by category, and the nominations for best theatrical and documentary screenplay and video game will be unveiled on Monday, Jan. 7. The 2019 Writers Guild Awards will be handed out to those camouflaged creators on Sunday, Feb. 17, at the Beverly Hilton.
