AWGIE Awards 2017: nominees

The Australian Writers Guild chooses their best scripts across the past 12 months of production.

Janet King, Deep Water, Rosehaven and Wentworth are amongst nominees for the 2017 AWGIE Awards.

Drama nominees in the annual Australian Writers Guild Awards were evenly spread across Free to Air and Pay TV broadcasters this year with ABC, SBS, Seven, TEN and Foxtel all recognised. The nominees, which are judged purely on members’ script alone, includes High Life, Seven’s Blue Murder sequel which is yet to air.

Stan landed a nod in the comedy category alongside ABC’s Rosehaven & Please Like Me.

Winners will be announced on Friday 25 August in Sydney.
