The 2006 Hugo/Campbell Award winners (Via Locus):
NOVEL
— Spin, Robert Charles Wilson (Tor)
I haven’t read SPIN yet, but from what I’ve heard this win was well-deserved.
NOVELLA
— “Inside Job”, Connie Willis (Asimov’s Jan 2005)
It’s not so much that I’m surprised that Connie Willis won, it’s that I’m surprised that Kelly Link didn’t.
NOVELETTE
— “Two Hearts”, Peter S. Beagle (F&SF Oct/Nov 2005)
Hurray for Peter S. Beagle!
SHORT STORY
— “Tk’tk’tk”, David D. Levine (Asimov’s Mar 2005)
I was guessing the winner would be Margo Lanagan, but congratulations to David (aka davidlevine) for pulling off a win.
RELATED BOOK
— Storyteller: Writing Lessons and More from 27 Years of the Clarion Writers’ Workshop, Kate Wilhelm (Small Beer Press)
No big surprise there, I don’t think
DRAMATIC PRESENTATION: LONG FORM
— Serenity (Universal Pictures/Mutant Enemy, Inc.; Written & Directed by Joss Whedon)
Not much of a surprise here either.
DRAMATIC PRESENTATION: SHORT FORM
— Doctor Who: “The Empty Child” & “The Doctor Dances” (BBC Wales/BBC1; Directed by James Hawes; Written by Steven Moffat)
I’m glad the fact that there were three Doctor Who episodes nominated didn’t split the vote so much that something else won.
PROFESSIONAL EDITOR
— David G. Hartwell
This one did surprise me, as I thought the nod would end up going to Ellen Datlow, in part because of the demise of SciFiction.
PROFESSIONAL ARTIST
— Donato Giancola
Ummm…okay.
SEMIPROZINE
— Locus, Charles N. Brown, Kirsten Gong-Wong & Liza Groen Trombi, eds.
Shocking!
FANZINE
— Plokta, Alison Scott, Steve Davies & Mike Scott, eds.
I’m not familiar with any of the nominees, but congratulations to the winners.
FAN WRITER
— Dave Langford
Cool.
FAN ARTIST
— Frank Wu
It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Seriously. Hurray for Frank getting another Hugo!
John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer [Not a Hugo]
— John Scalzi
Well, I’ve got to say that I was somewhat surprised that John won, if only because he was in his first year of eligibility. Plus, I’d been rooting for Sarah Monette (aka truepenny). Ah, well. It’s not like Mr. Scalzi is undeserving.
