The Handmaid´s Tale, Stranger Things, Glow, Feud y The Deuce entre las series nominadas a los WGA Awards 2018

Los premios WGA Awards, Writers Guild Awards que son aquellos que conceden los guionistas americanos no solo a las películas destacadas del año sino que también tienen un apartado dedicado a la televisión y a las series, ha dado a conocer la lista de nominados para su edición 2018. Los premios se entregarán el 11 de febrero en ceremonias duales en Los Ángeles y Nueva York.

Entre las sorpresas de las nominaciones de este año tenemos que a Mejor Serie de Comedia se ha nominado la serie de Netflix, GLOW, que paerce estar «colándose» en todas las recientes nominaciones que se están anunciando en premios (también fue nominada esta semana a los Critic´s Choice Awards) y que «luchará » Veep, Silicon Valley y Curb Your Enthusiasm, así como otra comedia de Netflix Master of None.

En la categoría de drama, los nominados se distribuyeron en cinco cadenas. FX con The Americans – el actual ganador del WGA Award – defenderá su corona contra la favorita de los Emmy The Handmaid’s Tale de Hulu, Better Call Saul de AMC, Game of Thrones de HBO y Stranger Things de Netflix. Es la sexta nominación de Juego de Tronos en esta categoría aunque nunca ha ganado.

Desaparecida entre los nominados a Mejor Serie de Drama está la segunda temporada de The Crown de Netflix, que se perdió la posibilidad de elegibilidad en los WGA por una semana.

Aquí está la lista completa de los nominados a los Premios WGA 2018 para televisión, nuevos medios, noticias, radio / audio y escritura de promoción.
