16 | Yankee Swap Mon. Feb. 12, 2007 at 7:07amDoes anyone know if there is video on this? I would love to hear their acceptance speeches!
15 | CrazyGringa Mon. Feb. 12, 2007 at 7:04amsounds good, they needed to start getting recognized for their fantastic work.
14 | switchkosterICE Mon. Feb. 12, 2007 at 6:53amthis is so great. I’m so glad they won awards this year recognizing ensemble acting and all the writers too. It is such a collaborative show.
13 | gymgirl Mon. Feb. 12, 2007 at 6:16amI was thinking the same thing Reginaroadie, especially about John, he was an honors playwright in college and has written a screenplay for Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. I’m surprised he hasn’t written an Office episode yet.
12 | threec Mon. Feb. 12, 2007 at 6:16amI think I squealed about this as much, if not more, than the SAG win for the cast. The Office writing staff is made of awesome in my estimation and are totally deserving of these accolades!
11 | mixed berries Sun. Feb. 11, 2007 at 10:35pmCongrats to the amazing writers!
They deserve this so much. The Office writers are so unbelievably awesome–I have so much trust in them. I can’t say that for any of my shows (past or present).
10 | Stephanie Sun. Feb. 11, 2007 at 10:17pmI was just thinking the other day, “Steve should win some kind of award for Casino Night, because that was fantastically written.” And look, he did. I’m like Nostradamus.
9 | Catherine Zeta-Jones Sun. Feb. 11, 2007 at 10:01pmCongrats to both the writing staff on their collective win as well as for Steve for “Casino Night”, which’ll probably go down in OFFICE history as one of the best episodes of the series.
I wonder if it’ll be a one time thing or if Steve or any of the non-writer cast members will take a turn at writing. Wouldn’t mind seeing Rainn write an ep, or John or Jenna.
