For the past two years, long time Stage 32 member and screenwriter Alan C. Baird has been providing his fellow Stage 32 members award-nominated screenplays to read and learn from. In case you missed it, check out the 2021 Golden Globes-nominated screenplays, 2021 Writers Guild Award-nominated screenplays, and 2021 BAFTA-nominated screenplays Alan shared with us.

Now, Alan has collected the 2021 Emmy-nominated comedy, drama, limited/anthology series, and nonfiction scripts!

The Emmy Awards are coming up on Sunday, September 19th. Script availability has been very spotty since the writing nominations were announced on July 13th. However, more pdfs are now coming online, and I've collected the latest links below.
