Nominations for the 2010 Hugo Awards close next Sunday. As I am still eligible to nominate (having been to WorldCon last year), I have been giving it some thought. I can nominate up to five in each catagory.
Best Novel, current thoughts are:
The Mystery of Grace by Charles de Lint
The Magicians by Lev Grossman
The City & The City by China Miéville
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
Best Novella, Best Novelette...dunno. I don't think I read any new ones from 2009.
Best Short Story is also a dunno, as I can't quite remember which that I read where new in 2009. I'll have to look it up.
ETA:
I'm liking K. Tempest Bradford's "Élan Vital"
Best Related Work is a category that I know very little about.
Best Graphic Story is going to require more thought, and I'd be happy to take recommendations. (Any science fiction or fantasy story told in graphic form appearing for the first time in 2009.)
Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form:
Coraline
Star Trek
Moon
Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form
"Epitaph One," Dollhouse
Best Editor, Short Form; Best Editor, Long Form; Best Professional Artist...dunno. I'll have to think on it.
Best Semiprozine
I believe Shadow Unit qualifies.
Best Fanzine, Best Fan Writer, Best Fan Artist, John W. Campbell Award...dunno.
I'd welcome any thoughts and input on categories that are blank or incomplete.
