Hugo Awards

      July 3, 2009

I have the good fortune to attend the World Science Fiction Convention about a month from now in Montreal. This gives me the chance to vote for the Hugo Awards. One can also sign up as a supporting member (rather than attending) of Worldcon.
 

The deadline is today and my ballot has been cast. The ballot allows for a ranked choice, that is placing numbers 1, 2, 3 etc. for the various works. Below are my top fiction choices.
 

Hope you all have a great weekend. And for those celebrating Independence Day: long fuses and garden hoses are your friends. ;-)

 

Best Novel: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
 

Best Novella: "The Political Prisoner" by Charles Coleman Finlay
 

Best Novelette: "The Gambler" by Paolo Bacigalupi
 

Best Short Story: "26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss" by Kij Johnson
 

Cambell Award for Best New Writer: David Anthony Durham

I must admit there were a few texts, not being quite my cup of tea, which I started but did not finish.

I see Neil Gaiman's book EVERYWHERE. Some serious pub dollars thrown in that direction.

Sounds like fun, Todd. We'll, of course, expect a full report.

Todd Wheeler said on July 5, 2009:

Neil Gaiman is the rock star of speculative fiction. Since he's the guest of honor for Worldcon I think this Hugo is a lock for him.

L.A. Mitchell said on July 7, 2009:

He is King's son, right?

Todd Wheeler said on July 7, 2009:

??? Gaiman?
