Two new series, HBO's "Game of Thrones box set 1" and Showtime's "Homeland, broke into the top  categories for the 2012 WGA Awards for Television and both were for drama.

The dramas will face off with "Boardwalk Empire," "Breaking Bad" and "The Good Wife 1-2 dvd box"--  proving the domination of cable networks in the general categories ofthis year's nominees.  The Writers Guild of America announced the nominees Wednesday for achievement in  television, news, radio, promotional writing and graphic animation.

In the new series category, Fox's "New Girl" was the sole broadcast network nominee -- it's  up against Showtime's Matt le Blanc laffer "Episodes" and "Homeland," AMC's "The Killing"  and HBO's "Game of Thrones."
