WGA Award Nomination for Ken Keeler

Yesterday the Writers Guild of America announced the nominees for the 55th Annual Writers Guild Awards for television and radio.
Futurama writer Ken Keeler was nominated in the category "Animation - any length - one airing time" for his work on one of my all-time favourite episodes: "Godfellas".

The other nominations in this field all aired in the 2002 season on FOX:
  • The Simpsons - The Bart wants what it wants
  • The Simpsons - Blame it on Lisa
  • The Simpsons - Jaws Wired Shut
  • King of the Hill - My own private Rodeo
  • Santa, Baby!

    The winners will be announced Saturday, March 8, 2003.
    This is the first time that the animation writers are nominated by their parent association (WGA) instead of their own WGA Animation Writers Caucus (AWC). Last October, Futurama writer Patric Verrone got the AWC Lifetime Achievement Award.

    Congratulations and good luck to Ken Keeler! If those Simpsons episodes are anything to go by in terms of nominations, Godfellas should win by a billion cubits ;).

    Woohoo! Godfellas is my second fav ep from Futurama. Looking at the other nominations, I'd say Godfellas has a great chance of winning. As far as KotH eps go, "My Own Private Rodeo" was pretty good. That in mind, "Godfellas" kills it. Anyone know what "Santa, Baby!" is/was?

    "Santa, Baby" was one of those corny Christmas specials.
