'The Americans' Season 3: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys Drama Nominated At 2016 WGA!

Season 3 of The Americans continues its critical praise for FX. With Season 4 of The Americans already underway, the FX drama starring Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) and Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) has been nominated for the 2016 Writers Guild of America.

In our finale recap, Philip had to kill and frame one of Martha's co-workers to make the FBI look away from her. After getting the fake defector arrested, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) was given the go-ahead to continue his investigation against Oleg (Costa Ronin), but he is nowhere closer to saving Nina (Annet Mahendru). Elizabeth had a chance to say goodbye to her dying mother.

Before the end credits, Philip was unable to tell his wife that he wanted to leave the spy business. Elizabeth was filled with hatred towards President Reagan as he declared the Soviet Union an "evil empire." Confused and desperate for someone's help, the teary-eyed Paige called Pastor Tim and confessed her parents aren't Americans; they're Russians.

According to TV Line, The Writers Guild of America has released its list of 2016 nominations. The winners will be announced in February, during simultaneous ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York City.
