Ugh...the writing got an award? I'm sorry but as for the script I'd say they did a lousy job!

The writing was *nominated*, and in my opinion, completely deserved it. It had heart, wit and pathos. Which is no doubt why it WAS nominated for an award. I hope it wins.

You folks might want to think about signing up or at least leaving a name if you want to leave comments. It's hard to distinguish one anon from the other.
