Marc Maron: “More Later” on EPIX

The Writers Guild Association has announced nominees for 2015 achievements in writing for TV, and there’s plenty of praise to go around for broadcast networks, cable, and streaming services. Winners will be announced Feb. 13, 2016, in simultaneous ceremonies held on both coasts for WGA East in New York City and WGA West in Los Angeles.
