The 2006 Hugo\/Campbell Award winners (Via Locus<\/a>):<\/p>\n

NOVEL
\n — Spin, Robert Charles Wilson (Tor) <\/p>\n

I haven’t read SPIN yet, but from what I’ve heard this win was well-deserved.<\/p>\n

NOVELLA
\n — “Inside Job”, Connie Willis (Asimov’s Jan 2005) <\/p>\n

It’s not so much that I’m surprised that Connie Willis won, it’s that I’m surprised that Kelly Link didn’t.<\/p>\n

NOVELETTE
\n — “Two Hearts”, Peter S. Beagle (F&SF Oct\/Nov 2005) <\/p>\n

Hurray for Peter S. Beagle!<\/p>\n

SHORT STORY
\n — “Tk’tk’tk”, David D. Levine (Asimov’s Mar 2005) <\/p>\n

I was guessing the winner would be Margo Lanagan, but congratulations to David (aka davidlevine<\/a>) for pulling off a win.<\/p>\n

RELATED BOOK
\n — Storyteller: Writing Lessons and More from 27 Years of the Clarion Writers’ Workshop, Kate Wilhelm (Small Beer Press) <\/p>\n

No big surprise there, I don’t think<\/p>\n

DRAMATIC PRESENTATION: LONG FORM
\n — Serenity (Universal Pictures\/Mutant Enemy, Inc.; Written & Directed by Joss Whedon) <\/p>\n

Not much of a surprise here either.<\/p>\n

DRAMATIC PRESENTATION: SHORT FORM
\n — Doctor Who: “The Empty Child” & “The Doctor Dances” (BBC Wales\/BBC1; Directed by James Hawes; Written by Steven Moffat) <\/p>\n

I’m glad the fact that there were three Doctor Who episodes nominated didn’t split the vote so much that something else won.<\/p>\n

PROFESSIONAL EDITOR
\n — David G. Hartwell <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

PROFESSIONAL ARTIST
\n — Donato Giancola <\/p>\n

Ummm…okay.<\/p>\n

SEMIPROZINE
\n — Locus, Charles N. Brown, Kirsten Gong-Wong & Liza Groen Trombi, eds. <\/p>\n

Shocking!<\/p>\n

FANZINE
\n — Plokta, Alison Scott, Steve Davies & Mike Scott, eds. <\/p>\n

I’m not familiar with any of the nominees, but congratulations to the winners.<\/p>\n

FAN WRITER
\n — Dave Langford <\/p>\n

Cool.<\/p>\n

FAN ARTIST
\n — Frank Wu <\/p>\n

It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Seriously. Hurray for Frank getting another Hugo!<\/p>\n

John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer [Not a Hugo]<\/p>\n

— John Scalzi<\/p>\n

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<\/a>). Ah, well. It’s not like Mr. Scalzi is undeserving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
