This is the first win for Noah Hawley on his first nomination for his work on Fargo.

Fargo is a pitch perfect movie and when the show was picked up for a series order I had my doubts but from the very beginning of the pilot until the end of the season it was a joy to watch on a week to week basis. Noah Hawley was behind the whole series writing every episode and this special creation of his had some of the best writing especially in moments where there was silence which made the show so special. Creating such new characters as Molly Solverson and Lester Nygaard was a great acomplishment by Hawley who balanced this whole universe so well in my opnion.
