USC Scripter Nominees

[anonymous1980]

Nomadland just won.

And, for comparison, their TV nominations:

“The Good Lord Bird”—Showtime and Riverhead Books
“Normal People”—Hulu and Random House
“The Plot Against America”—HBO and Vintage International
“The Queen’s Gambit”—Netflix and Vintage Contemporaries
“Unorthodox”—Netflix and Simon & Schuster

I'd argue this second list is not only far more widely seen, but probably more highly regarded.
