I don't remember any past winners, although I do recall that this is the first year the show has moved to New York from its previous Thursday night during Comic-Con International slot. I'm always a little bit weirded out that Francoise Mouly can't get a nomination in the non-creator category, and it strikes me that Louise Simonson is probably more influential as a non-creator at Warren and Marvel than she is as a writer, but I honestly don't know the awards well enough to know if those are fair criticisms or not.
