Reel Artsy's Screenwriter of the Year 2011: Elizabeth Meriwether

Who's that girl? It's Liz.

1. She's the show-runner of the hit TV show New Girl, that gives us weekly doses of Zooey Deschanel being "adorkable" in laugh-out-loud episodes like "Bad in Bed."

2. No Strings Attached was one of the most downloaded movies on iTunes. Opened at #1 in theaters and made over $70 million.

3. Long live The Fempire! - When a certain NY Times article about Diablo Cody's screenwriting buddies hit the web she was the newbie of the bunch. Now she's emerged into her own spotlight. Her unique writing voice shows signs of life (and originality) for aspiring screenwriters everywhere.
