2010 Hugo Award Winners

Via N. K. Jemisin at John Scalzi's Whatever
and via The Hugo Awards website


Since Worldcon is in Australia this year, the Hugo Awards were given out at something like 5:00 AM this morning, American time.  Time Zone dependent.  I certainly didn't stay up for that, but eagerly searched out the winners this morning - as if it were Christmas.

And, for those keeping score at home - this is how I voted.  I called three of them as my top choice.

Hurrah for Starship Sofa. I've been following that podcast for just over a year. I'm a big fan of their genre history articles.
