Review: M*A*S*H

Explanation

Creating a filter: the original sentence has a problem early on, because grammatically it's indicating that the creators of MASH were released in 1970, contrary to the intended meaning.

Applying the filter: choice (B) has the same problem as (A), saying that "nominees" were released in 1970. Choice (C) fixes the problem and may be okay, so we can come back to it. In choice (D), the phrase at the end, "and released in 1970," is a would-be independent clause without a grammatical subject, and it's ambiguous. So (D) is out. Choice (E) uses the awkward participial construction "being" unnecessarily. The correct answer is (C).
