Isn't he the guy from Matchbox 20?

Screw the Golden Globes.

The Writers Guild has nominated Veronica Mars for outstanding achievement in television writing during the 2005 season. The season two premiere episode "Normal is the Watchword" was nominated for Episodic Drama, and is up against episodes of House, The West Wing, CSI, Nip/Tuck, and Six Feet Under. Pretty good company.

Personally, I think VM should have been recognized as one of the best-written dramatic series overall (certainly over Grey's Anatomy), because I think the excellence of the writing is more apparent in the ongoing storytelling arcs than in any single episode. And NitW would not be my choice for best-written single episode either, but there is no doubt that Rob Thomas is a great writer and the nomination is well deserved.

Congratulations, Rob Thomas.
