The 2014 edition of The Writers Guild of America unveiled the Award nomination of this year. The awards are meant for honoring outstanding writing works in film, television, new media, video games, news, radio and promotional writing and graphic animation. The awards will be presented on a splendid eve on February 1st at simultaneous ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York.

The Television, new-media, news and radio categories have already been announced. Breaking Bad and Orange Is the New Black are among the TV nominees, and this arena is having very less competition among all categories. The video game writing nominees will be announced on the coming Thursday.

Special honorees are the main highlight of this year’s Award fest. The Wire creator David Simon will receive the Ian McLellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement in New York. Focus Features co-founder James Schamus will be honored with the Evelyn F. Burkey Award; and 1010 WINS’ Philip V. Pilato was selected as the recipient of the Richard B. Jablow Award.
