The nominees for the Writers Guild of America Awards for television were announced yesterday.
Among the nominees for best new series is The Walking Dead, which Alien Zapper has been obsessing about starting today, without knowing that it got a nod for its writers. The show's pool of writers includes Frank Darabont, who has directed excellent Stephen King adaptations (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist).
