LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox's "The Simpsons" and NBC's "Law & Order" franchise scored three nominations apiece Monday among television and radio categories of the 56th annual Writers Guild of America Awards, while "Malcolm in the Middle" had a strong showing with two nominations.
Matt Groening's long-running cartoon series helped Fox secure five of the six nominations for animation writing, while two "Law & Order" series helped NBC dominate episodic drama with four of the six nominations. PBS programs dominated the list of documentary nominations.
Winners will be announced Feb. 21 as the WGA West holds its ceremonies at the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City and the WGA East hosts its honors at the Pierre Hotel in New York.
In the TV drama category, NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" was nominated for two episodes, "Abomination" and "Loss," both by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters. Michael Chernuchin was nominated for the "Bounty" episode of NBC's "Law & Order." Alexa Junge and Lauren Schmidt were nominated for the "Disaster Relief" episode of NBC's "The West Wing."
