This is standard practice for pretty much all awards of this type. Emmys and Oscars for, for example, Best Teleplay or Screenplay are in the name of the work with the writers name listed. The trophies go to the writers. The writers are referred to in print by national publications as being the winners. Novels win all sorts of awards, not just Hugos. The authors are thereafter referred to as [name of award]-winning authors. The Wiki editor has a case of literal-itis with no real-world experience to back him up. And for our Wiki friend who insists on information only from valid sources, I say this as someone who has been a) Chairman of a Worldcon, b) A member of multiple Hugo Award Subcommittees, and c) A Judge for the Emmy Awards.
