Emmy Predictions: Best Writing for a Comedy Series


The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 18th. Please refer to my Emmy musings for this category for a detailed analysis of the contenders, and, as always, chime in below in the comments with any thoughts of your own.

Last year’s nominees: Community, Girls, Louie, Parks and Recreation, Parks and Recreation

The competition: This race isn’t actually packed too tightly. Going off last year’s slate, I think that Daddy’s Girlfriend: Part1 (Louie) and On All Fours (Girls) are very good bets. Basic Human Anatomy (Community) and Leslie and Ben (Parks and Recreation) are possibilities too, but hardly as strong as their shows’ offerings last year. I think this category will likely be populated by episodes of shows previously nominated in this race: Blockheads (Arrested Development), Episode 209 (Episodes), Mystery Date (Modern Family), The Future Dunphys (Modern Family), Finale (The Office), Hogcock (30 Rock), and Last Lunch (30 Rock). Watch out for either Virgins or Quick Hardening Caulk from “New Girl” as well.

The predicted nominees: Episode 209 (Episodes), On All Fours (Girls), Daddy’s Girlfriend: Part 1 (Louie), Mystery Date (Modern Family), Last Lunch (30 Rock)

The predicted winner:
