Nominations for “The 76th Annual Writers Guild Awards” were announced on Wednesday, with “Days of our Lives” and “General Hospital” competing in the Daytime Drama category. Other shows receiving nominations in various categories include “The Crown,” “Abbott Elementary,” “The Last of Us” and “Succession.” Among films, “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” are looking to take home their respective trophies.

This year, “Days of our Lives” is competing against “General Hospital” after receiving a de facto win in 2023 due to no other show being nominated, and marking the show’s third consecutive win. Ron Carlivati leads the show’s writing team.

At “General Hospital,” outgoing writers Dan O’Connor and Chris Van Etten are receiving their final nominations as the show’s head writers. The two were let go in January after a shakeup behind the scenes.

Representing “Days of our Lives” is head writer Ron Carlivati, with Ryan Quan as the show’s creative consultant, followed by writers Sonja Alarr, Jazmen Darnell Brown, Joanna Cohen, Carolyn Culliton, Richard Culliton, Cheryl Davis, Kirk Doering, Christopher Dunn, Jamey Giddens, David Kreizman, Henry Newman, Dave Ryan and Katherine D. Schock. This marks the first official nomination for the show as a Peacock exclusive series.

At “General Hospital,” Dan O’Connor and Chris Van Etten are followed by writers Ashley Cook, Emily Culliton, Suzanne Flynn, Charlotte Gibson, Lucky Gold, Kate Hall, Elizabeth Korte, Shannon Peace, Stacey Pulwer, Dave Rupel, Lisa Seidman and Scott Sickles.

The Writers Guild Awards honor outstanding writing in film, television, new media, news (broadcast and digital), radio/audio, and promotional categories. The 2024 Writers Guild Awards will be held on Sunday, April 14, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and the Edison Ballroom in New York City.

    • I thought someone saw a pic in someone's IG acct. is all, but, cute, nope, not an announcement, although that's a lovely idea.  Memo to the Fans from Franky: The next set I will be repurposing - and expect you to all bow down & worship me in appreciation, ..... 
    • The only thing Martin running for president do was showcase how arrogant and defiant he is. Ignoring his grandparents concerns, giving him a god complex that his secret wouldnt be revealed and how selfish he was in comparisons to his dreams vs Smitty. That was the characterization it gave him and he still possess those traits. Its okay to move away from that given what just happened to his family. Knowing he has a huge secret, it never made sense for him to want to run for president and he's finally thinking logically.   Besides a presidential run wouldnt happen for another 3 years anyway so all the show would be doing is having him just talk about this by which point the characters will not even be in the same place. It wasnt a plo but something that would have had to cookign the background and tings move too fast to expect that to still be a thing when the time would come. Martin's secret most certainly will have been revealed thus killing any run he would have wanted anyway
    • Thank you! It would have been a nice nod to history if Lulu stated that she bought the house that her Eckert’s relatives used to live in.

    • There is detail here if you scroll down to "behind the scenes" https://general-hospital.fandom.com/wiki/Spencer_House Same set Eckert family in 1991 Carly/Jax 2005-2009 Luke/Bobbie/Pat and parents in 1960s from 2015 storyline and now Lulu in 2025 They established in 2015 that Pat had signed the house over to the Eckerts so that is the same house that the Eckerts had in-universe in 1991. May I ask then:  Carly's 2004-2009 house and Lulu's 2025 house are each supposed to be different buildings -- unrelated to Spencer history (despite them both being Spencer daughters) ?

        23 years passed since this masterpiece. I still remember being a kid and dancing to it. God I'M OLD.
    • I thought it might be either a Victor or Dimera thing.  Both seem plausible.  I just don't know why Kate would care about the hospital much lol.  It would obviously be a conflict of interest for her to vote either way, but so would Brady's vote. I am overthinking it lol.
    • I know in-universe Port Charles, that these are different buildings, but it's still weird visually that Lulu is living (on the set) where her father accidentally killed her grandmother and in rage killed her grandfather
    • If DAYS didn't write Philip Kiriakis as such a wishy-washy loser in love, he'd fit that role as a great recast and turn the character into more of a leading man than a wuss.
