Hugo Award Nominations

[kevin_standlee]

In the rather unlikely event that you haven't seen the announcements already, the Hugo Award Nominations have been released. (It was a little slow to load when I looked a few minutes ago, which is not that surprising. You can get the information from the official Hugo Awards web site and other locations as well if you haven't seen them yet.)

There are a number of nominations with which I'm very pleased, including one -- Phil Foglio for Best Professional Artist -- who has been been holding down a place on my nominating ballot for years now, and who I'm pleased enough other WSFS members decided was worth honoring. I hope to be able to congratulate him in person here at Norwescon.

Speaking of Norwescon, I've sent along a copy of the nominations to the editor of the Norwescon newsletter (solarbird) for inclusion in the next issue, for the benefit of those people who aren't huddled in their hotel rooms over computers during the convention.

I have only glanced at them, since I am in Boston. I will write more Tuesday or Wednesday about them.

I just got around to looking at the list of Long Form Best Dramatic Presentation nominees. This year, to be an informed voter in this category, I have to watch over 17 hours of "Heroes". I haven't seen the show yet. I'm not sure I'm up for it.
