Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) and Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) have announced nominations for outstanding achievement in screenwriting, television, streaming, news, radio/audio, and promotional writing during 2024. Winners will be honored at the 2025 Writers Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, February 15.
In the Animation category, the ever present The Simpsons again makes a splash with the WGA, scoring three out of six of the nomination slots. Another long-running FOX toon, Bob’s Burgers, took another two nods, while Netflix’s Blood of Zeus breaks the 20th Television Animation sweep.
No fully-animated titles made the cut for Children’s TV, although the puppet pals of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (Apple TV+) and Sesame Street (HBO/Max) rocked their way to a nomination.
