has any Worldcon committee member ever won a Hugo during their Worldcon? I feel that most if not all of them would actually refuse the nomination if offered in such a circumstance (or at least they should refuse it).
Similarly I don't know if a GoH has ever won a Hugo the same year they were honoured;
Leslie Turek, a key member of the Noreascon 3 committee and chair of Noreascon 2, won for Best Fanzine for N3's publication, The Mad 3 Party.
I believe Neil Gaiman is the latest GoH to win a Hugo during his GoH-ship (2009); there have been others.
So yes, it does happen, and frequently. Generally, only the Hugo subcommittee people are excluded.
