Got a Tip?

‘Andor,’ ‘Abbott Elementary’ & ‘The Bear’ Earn WGA Awards TV Nominations

Are you ready for even more guild awards? This afternoon, after SAG and DGA had their say, the Writers Guild of America announced their 2023 nominations in television and non-film categories. And, unlike their peers, the WGA recognized some well-deserving programs that have gotten little awards love so far such as “Andor,” “Bad Sisters,” “Fleishman Is In Trouble” and “Julia.” Overall, “Better Call Saul” led all programs with three nominations.

This year’s television nominees should be a more prestigious lot than the film honorees that will be announced on Wednesday, January 25. Many of this year’s most critically acclaimed films are not eligible for the WGA Awards including “Living,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Triangle of Sadness,” “Aftersun,” “Close,” “Corsage,” “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” “RRR,” “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” “The Whale,” “The Wonder” and “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On,” among many others. It’s probably no surprise then that the WGA is holding those particular nominees until after the Oscars announce on Jan. 24.

The 75th WGA Awards will be handed out on March 5.

A complete list of all the non-Theatrical WGA Award nominees are as follows:
