2010 Hugo Awards

I found a list of this year’s winners over at Frederick Pohl‘s blog The Way The Future Blogs. This is because he won the award for Best Fan Writer.

Surprisingly the list isn’t up at the official Hugo site though there is a video of the award ceremony.

Edited to add (9/9/10):- The list is there (see comment.) The link I followed only took you to the video.

Other awards of interest to me were:-
Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form
Doctor Who: “The Waters of Mars.”
Hmm… I didn’t think that episode was particularly good.

Best Novella
“Palimpsest” by Charles Stross (Wireless, Ace, Orbit.)
Charlie is a one time and now somewhat detached member of the East Coast Writers Group. We bask in his reflected glory.

Best Novel (tie)
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi (Night Shade)
The City & The City by China Mieville (Del Rey; Macmillan UK)
I’ve read the Mieville.

Hugo Awards 2009

This years Hugo Awards have been announced.

I see Wall.E, which I commented on about a year ago, won best dramatic presentation, long form.

Dramatic presentation? It was a cartoon! (I know that does not preclude drama, but still.)

Like the BSFA’s, the Hugo’s voters have gone with Ted Chang’s Exhalation for best short story.

I reviewed this when the BSFA awards were impending.
