Whether or not The Martian gets a mention for Best Adapted Screenplay when the Academy Award nominations are announced tomorrow morning, its screenwriter, Drew Goddard, is having a pretty good week. A few days ago, the the feel-good sci-fi film was awarded a Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy, and today NBC has announced that Goddard will be directing the first episode of its upcoming straight-to-series sitcom, The Good Place. While he’s had plenty of experience in television—having created Daredevil for Netflix and written on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Lost, among other shows—this will be Goddard’s TV directorial debut. (He previously helmed the horror-comedy cult favorite The Cabin In The Woods, which he co-wrote with Joss Whedon.)
