Hugo Award nominees!

[yendi]

They're below the cut tag. The unofficial name of them is apparantly the "Michael Swanwick" awards.

Neil is up for Coraline, of course. And Enterprise somehow got two nominations for tv episode (Joss got the other three). I'd have liked to see a bone thrown to Special Unit 2 in memorium, just to recognize the good UPN sci-fi show that was cancelled. Ah, well.

I'd love to see Minority Report pull the upset movie win. Or Spirited Away.

Anyway, just follow the cut tag for the nominees:
