I haven’t included all the Writers Guild nominees here for television (there’s a lot of them), but here are some of the bigger categories this year. Better Call Saul remains beloved with the writers (as it should, and it got three nominations for episodic drama), so at least this is one place where the show is appreciated. The Crown, The Boys and The Mandalorian are all in here too, along with the new popular favorite The Queen’s Gambit.
