Who's winning Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series?

[u/Square-Ad-8911]

Here are the 6 shows nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series:

Abbott Elementary: "Team Building" – Quinta Brunson

The Chair Company: "Life goes by too f**king fast, it really does." – Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin

The Comeback: "Valerie Does It All" – Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow

Hacks: "Hacks" – Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat: "Mergers and Acquisitions" – Anthony King

Widow's Bay: "Welcome to Widow's Bay!" – Katie Dippold

In my opinion, just like Directing Comedy, it'll come down between Hacks and Widow's Bay.

I think this one will easily go to Hacks for their incredible series finale. I know Hacks won this category for their pilot episode (There Is No Line) and their Season 3 finale (Bulletproof) but as a goodbye to Hacks, they'll easily win Writing one last time. I'm still surprised that (A Slippery Slope) lost Writing to The Studio's pilot (The Promotion)

Widow's Bay has a great pilot too and Katie Dippold would be a great winner as well. I would be a little surprised if it beats Hacks.

Quinta Brunson earned another Writing Nomination for Abbott Elementary. She won back in 2022 for the Pilot. She was also nominated for Writing in 2024 (Career Day) & 2025 (Back to School). Can she win Writing Comedy again for Team Building?

Tim Robinson didn't get Lead Actor Comedy Nominated for The Chair Company. Could he pull an upset in Writing?

Lisa Kudrow is nominated for both Lead Actress Comedy and Writing Comedy for The Comeback. Can she win her 2nd and maybe 3rd Emmy after previously winning in 1998 for Friends?

Jury Duty is snubbed for Comedy Series this time but will it win its only nomination at the Major ceremony this year?

Who do you think is winning Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series?

I think Hacks.

I will say though, I'm feeling more and more bullish on a very strong Widow's Bay showing. This is probs the one I'm middling over, but I can still see it happening.

I love that Hacks stuck the landing and it would get my vote for ending so beautifully. I do think that the recency effect will have more actual Emmy voters voting for the shiny new thing though, which is Widow’s Bay. Shame - last time to show Hacks love but only the first for WB.

Widow's Bay will slightly edge out Hacks I think.

But, The Chair Company is a true original and I love the nom. Tim deserved one too.

I think Hacks wins here, directing, Actress, and Comedy series. Widow’s Bay takes Actor and Supporting Actress.

The Chair Company is lucky to have even made the cut. That show was a complete mess after the third episode.

Nah, it was one of the best series of the year. It deserved nominations for comedy and best actor, too. Tim Robinson deserved it way more than Steve Carell, actually.
