This is the first win and nomination for Aline Brosh McKenna. Jack Dolgen earns his second win receives his 3rd/4th nomination Adam Schlesinger earns his third win receiving his 5th/6th nomination. Jack receives his 3rd/4th nomination. Rachel Bloom wins for the fifth time with a total of 7 nominations. All three were nominated for co-writing two songs in 2017 and 2018. Adam was also nominated for writing for The Colbert Report (2008). Bloom won as well for acting and main title theme music in 2017. Adam and Rachel also won for writing “You Stupid Bitch” for the show’s first season.

The song “Let’s Generalize About Men” featured in the season 3 premier of Crazy Ex wasn’t written as a sort of anthem for what followed but the week it premiered everything about the Weinstein scandal came out so the song became even more important reflecting on the stories that were secretive coming to light. The song is a catchy pop song with a beat you can dance to while laughing hard at the lyrics. Every season now there has been one standout song that usually wins my original song category. The show now going into its last season is both a positive and negative thing as I never would’ve expected it to get past it’s first season.
