As Kate and I are planning to attend the Worldcon this year, we’re eligible to nominate for the Hugo Awards<\/a>, which are sort of SF’s version of the Oscars, or maybe the Golden Globes (the Nebula Awards being the other). This is only the third time I’ve had this opportunity, and it’s always kind of difficult, given that I end up having basically no opinion in so many of the categories.<\/p>\n

I do have a few ideas about works to nominate, but I’d like to hear suggestions from other people. So, what should I be putting on my nominating ballot this year? I’ll put the list of categories below, with my thoughts on the categories where I have an actual opinion. I’m not offering to just let people fill out my ballot for me, mind– I’m not going to nominate works I haven’t read or seen, but if you recommend something strongly, I’ll try to read it before the deadline, and see if I think it belongs.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the categories are:<\/p>\n
