Woo-Hoo!
The Associated Press reports that the Conchords have been nominated for a WGA award! The 60th Writers Guild Awards will be Feb. 9 in Los Angeles and New York. I’m not sure how the strike will affect the awards, who will write it? But at least they have a plan..we hope.

The nine-person writing team for HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords” was nominated in both the comedy series and new series categories.
