2009 Hugo Award Night of Win
Though I am not fond of WorldCon, I do wish I could be there tonight to party with the Hugo winners. Many people I know and love to pieces won tonight:
- BEST NOVELLA: “The Erdmann Nexus” by Nancy Kress (Asimov’s Oct/Nov 2008)
- BEST SHORT STORY: “Exhalation” by Ted Chiang (Eclipse Two, also: audio version)
- BEST RELATED BOOK: Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded: A Decade of Whatever, 1998-2008 by John Scalzi (Subterranean Press)
- BEST EDITOR, SHORT FORM: Ellen Datlow
- BEST SEMIPROZINE: Weird Tales edited by Ann VanderMeer & Stephen H. Segal
- BEST FAN WRITER: Cheryl Morgan
- BEST FANZINE: Electric Velocipede edited by John Klima
- BEST FAN ARTIST: Frank Wu
I seriously don’t think I’ve ever seen a Hugo winner list made of more win. Special congrats to Weird Tales for breaking the million-year Locus winning streak and to my main man, John Klima, for his fanzine win. I am dancing in my living room and singing at the top of my lungs in praise of all y’all.
Ted Chiang, Frank Wu and David Anthony Durham for the POC contingent. Am I missing anyone?
:D :D :D :D
That’s a hot fucking list! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
To WEIRD TALES breaking the LOCUS streak: Amen! :-D
I can’t believe it’s 17 years since Nancy Kress’ last Hugo. how can that be?
I love how the Hugo Awards knock the whole “only white men write mind-blowing science fiction” foolishness into a cocked hat. FACE.
Word.
I am so happy about that Hugos list!
