So, according to Miss Minutes, Succession was supposed to win. Which it did. If Loki had won, the Time Variance Authority would have been alerted to a divergent timeline and pruned us all. Which means the universe has been saved! The Roy family has finally done something good!
Now, we have no way of knowing how close the voting is for these things, and, let’s face it, Succession is just a much more standard example of “good writing,” however you define it. But Loki’s nomination here was more than warranted and, for my money, it probably should have at least been the runner-up here. Granted, I haven’t watched The Handmaid’s Tale in years, but I do watch Succession, The Morning Show, and Yellowjackets. The Morning Show is just pure cheese, and Yellowjackets is excellent but hasn’t quite lived up to its full potential with that first season. Loki however, somehow balanced the scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe while also broadening it, while also being a fascinating character dissection in addition to adding a ton of new characters.
That’s certainly good writing, no matter what. Even if rewarding it with a WGA award it would have brought our demise. Loki season one is now on Disney+. Season two is currently in development. Read about all of this year’s WGA Award winners at this link.
