Emmy Winner Predictions: Best Writing for a Comedy Series

Nominees are listed in alphabetical order by show. Beware of minor spoilers for listed episodes.

David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik, Episodes (Episode 409)
Will Forte, The Last Man on Earth (Alive in Tuscon)
Louis C.K., Louie (Bobby's House)
Alec Berg, Silicon Valley (Two Days of the Condor)
Jill Soloway, Transparent (Pilot)
Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci and Tony Roche, Veep (Election Night)

Crane and Klarik are nominated for the fourth year in a row for penning their series. Forte and Soloway are here for writing their shows’ pilots. Berg is back again for his show’s season finale, and Blackwell, Iannucci, and Roche return after being honored last year for collaborating on an episode of their HBO series. C.K. is nominated for the fifth year in a row, and he has won twice, mostly recently last year.

What should win: Anything but “The Last Man on Earth” and “Louie”
What will win: My bet is The Last Man on Earth over dependable favorite “Louie.”
