Emmy Nominees: Best Writing for a Comedy Series

My predictions: 2/5, picking only “Girls” and “Louie”

The nominees: Remedial Chaos Theory (Community), Pilot (Girls), Pregnant (Louie), The Debate (Parks and Recreation), Win, Lose, or Draw (Parks and Recreation)

I’ve only seen three of these nominees, but this is easily the best category ever. I spotlighted it as the number one best surprise about the Emmy nominations in my Shockya article since just one of these nominees – Girls! – is up for Best Comedy Series, meaning that it’s recognizing true individual achievement in episodic writing. While Parks and Recreation should never have been snubbed for Best Comedy Series, it’s so wonderful to see it here twice! This is the second Emmy nomination Community has ever earned, and the first in a major category. This represents one of seven nominations for Louis C.K. of Louie, and he’s not the only actor nominated in this category: Lena Dunham and Amy Poehler are too. No 30 Rock, no Modern Family, just some creative thinking and writing!

Who should win? Still have to watch “Community” and “Louie,” but “Win, Lose, or Draw” is probably the best
Who will win? Either “The Debate” or “Pilot”
