2007 Hugo Nominations Released

Everyone was expecting the list of nominations to be released on the 24th (last Saturday), but better late than never. I saw these at SF Signal, and apparently Lit Soup had them first. (I haven't seen an official press release, and the Nippon 2007 Hugo page is silent on the subject.) So, assuming these are the real deal...

John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer (not a Hugo)

  • Scott Lynch
  • Sarah Monette
  • Naomi Novik
  • Brandon Sanderson
  • Lawrence M. Schoen

The awards will be presented at Nippon 2007; I'll have to miss it this year (Japan is very expensive, as is trans-Pacific air travel), but best wish to all of the nominees and attendees.

Update, 4/2: The Hugo Administrators have announced a change in the "Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form" category; Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest is off and Pan's Labyrinth is on. There was an error in the original tally, and this is a correction tyo reflect the actual votes.

Further Update, 4/24: Jed Hartman has been instrumental in ensuring that all of this year's short fiction nominees are available on-line (just click the links from that page); now those of you who are members of Nippon 2007 have no excuses for not voting (and no excuses for not voting, and then whining that the "wrong things" won).
