'Louie' breaks through at PGA noms
Emmy-nominated dramas "Breaking Bad," "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones," "Homeland" and "Mad Men" were nominated for PGA Awards in episodic drama.
"Boardwalk Empire" was the one drama that got whittled by the PGA, which has five nominees in its major categories. In comedy, making the journey from the Emmys to the PGA were "30 Rock," "The Big Bang Theory," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Modern Family," with "Louie" taking the final spot in place of "Girls" and "Veep."
A full list of the PGA's TV nominees revealed today can be found here. Feature film nominations and longform TV noms will be announced Jan. 3, in advance of the Jan. 26 kudos.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
