45 thoughts on “What Did You Nominate For The 2019 Hugo Awards?”

OlavRokne on March 16, 2019 at 12:22 am said:

Well, I’ve been pretty vocal in my support of the movies Prospect, The Endless and (most of all) Sorry To Bother You. [On a similar (related) note, saw Captive State this evening … and I gotta say that I think it should be a contender for Hugos 2020. ]

For Novel, The Calculating Stars and Embers Of War were at the top of my ballot.

Westworld the TV show was pretty bad this season … but weirdly they did one phenomenal episode from the perspective of the Indigenous characters. Several people in the Native American community that I know spoke very highly of the episode’s level of accurate cultural representation. So that went on my ballot for Dramatic short form.

I have many excuses for my self-perceived deficiencies in the nominating process, but all of these nominees are far more entertaining:

RELATED WORK: Daemon Voices by Philip Pullman
SERIES: Adventures of Arabella Ashby by David D. Levine
and Elfquest (based on a 2018 compilation) by Wendy and Richard Pini
YA NOVEL: Arabella The Traitor of Mars by David D. Levine
LONG FORM: Ready Player One
NOVEL: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

I did not nominate for the Hugos this year. If I had, my nominations would have looked something like this:

Novels:
The Breath of the Sun by Isaac Fellman (published under the name Rachel Fellman)
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
84K by Claire North
The Gloaming by Kirsty Logan
Space Opera by Catherynne Valente

Novellas:
Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells
Artificial Condition by Martha Wells
The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard

YA:
Out of the Blue by Sophie Cameron
The Navigator’s Touch by Julia Ember
Imposters by Scott Westerfeld
And The Ocean Was Our Sky by Patrick Ness
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Series:
The Shadow Campaigns by Django Wexler

Dramatic Long Form:
Black Panther
The Expanse (Season 3)
Avengers: Infinity War
The Good Place (Season 2)
Spider Man – Into the Spider-Verse

Dramatic Short Form:
The Good Place (Janets)
The Good Place (The Burrito)
Maniac (Ceci N’est Pas Une Drill)
The Expanse (Triple Point)
Star Trek: Discovery (Vaulting Ambition)

I’d have also nominated in most of the other categories and retro categories, but I don’t feel like doing the harder work for a “what I would have done” post. (Rooting for Kuttner and Moore, though!)

The Breath of the Sun, by the way, was perhaps the best SFF novel I read last year. It won’t make the Hugo nominations because no one seems to have read it. It’s up for a Lambda Award, though!

Novels were really hard this year. Earlier in the year I was sure I was going to have Semiosis and A Big Ship At The Edge Of The Universe on my ballot, and maybe Jade City, but none of them ended up on it.

My novel nominations:

Record of a Spaceborn Few; Becky Chambers;
European Travels for the Monstrous Gentlewoman; Theodora Goss
Embers of War; Gareth Powell
Foundryside; Robert Jackson Bennett
Blackfish City; Sam Miller

I didn’t read many short items this year, and only nominated 2 short stories:

Theories of Flight; Linda Nagata
Field Biology of the Wee Fairies; Naomi Kritzer

And the only other item i really would like to see is the Green Rider series by Kristen Britain nominated for Best Series (there was a novella released this last year)

I wish I had thought of Elfquest for best series. I left some spots empty and that’s an excellent unconventional choice.

Let’s not talk about how little I’ve read for, well, months now. ;-( Insert cat-crying emoji here. My novel reading for 2018, especially, was pretty low. Many audiobooks I listened to were new-to-me older works (e.g., Vorkosigan Saga) and some re-read-via-audiobook (notably, several Darkover books). But I did nominate last night, just under the wire! Last-minute checking on eligibility & publication dates took some time. I was very unprepared. Next year, better do better. 😉

Best Novel
Lies Sleeping – Ben Aaronovitch @ DAW
Adrift – Rob Boffard @ Orbit
One Way – S.J. Morden @ Orbit*

* My brother & niece are in town. She’s read this and was surprised to hear there’s a sequel; she felt from the ending like she doesn’t need a sequel, so might not read it!

Best Novella
Umbernight – Carolyn Ives Gilman @ Clarkesworld
Beneath the Sugar Sky – Seanan McGuire @ Tor.com
The Levin-Gad – Diane Duane @ Self-published
The Flowers of Vashnoi – Lois McMaster Bujold @ Spectrum Literary Agency
Artificial Condition – Martha Wells @ Tor.com (against the grain here, LOL)

Would’ve nominated if not for lack of space and (sorry, Wells) a desire for variety (I always have too many novellas, yay!):
Rogue Protocol – Martha Wells @ Tor.com
Exit Strategy – Martha Wells @ Tor.com
A Taste of Wrath – Matt Wallace @ Tor.com

Best Short Story
Destiny – Melissa Mead @ Daily Science Fiction
Lava Cake for the Apocalypse – Wendy Nikel @ Nature
The Thing In the Walls Wants Your Small Change – Virginia M Mohlere @ Luna Station Quarterly
What Remains – Nina Kiriki Hoffman @ Daily Science Fiction
The Tail of Danny Whiskers – Fawaz Al-Matrouk @ Nature

Best Series (2018 entry listed below)
Sin du Jour – Matt Wallace @ Tor.com – Taste of Wrath
Planetfall – Emma Newman @ Ace – Before Mars
Hail Bristol (series w/2 sub-series) – K.B. Wagers @ Orbit – There Before the Chaos
Psycop – Jordan Castillo Price @ JCP Books – Agent Bayne
Tale of the Five (AKA Middle Kingdoms) – Diane Duane @ Self-published – The Levin-Gad (novella)

Best Graphic Story
But I’m a Cat Person – Erin Ptah – Chapter 26
Leif & Thorn – Erin Ptah – Volume 2
Love Not Found – Gina Biggs – Chapter 16
O Human Star – Blue Delliquanti – Chapter 6
Skin Deep – Kory Bing – Illumination [ch. 3 ended in 2018]

Best Dramatic Presentaton – Long Form
Deadpool 2
Avengers: Infinity War
Black Panther
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Solo: A Star Wars Story

Would’ve nominated if not for lack of space:
Aquaman
Incredibles 2

Best Editor – Long Form
Sheila Gilbert
Gillian Redfearn
Betsy Wollheim

Best Editor – Short Form
John Joseph Adams
Michele Barasso
Jonathan Laden
Neil Clarke
Lee Harris

Best Professional Artist
Jon Foster – ex.: GODS, MONSTERS, AND THE LUCKY PEACH cover
Charles Vess – ex.: THE BOOKS OF EARTHSEA artwork
Gene Mollica – ex.: NINE SOULS cover
Reiko Murakami – ex.: PHANTOM LIMB cover
Tommy Arnold – ex.: THE ARMORED SAINT cover & the ARDOR BENN series covers

SFF180 – T.M. Wagner

Best Fan Writer – Damn, I forgot Adri Joy & others I meant to nominate!
JJ

Best Fan Artist – Probably could’ve done more here
Jemima Malkki https://jmalkki.tumblr.com

Best Art Book (special category) – pretty sure I forgot something(s)
Daydreamer’s Journey – Julie Dillon – Self-published

Categories I didn’t nominate in
Best Novelette (Duane calls “The Levin-Gad” a novelette, but it’s squarely novella-length)
Best Related Work (never have anything for this and I don’t like the category anyway)
Best Dramatic Presentation – Short Form

Contrarius on March 16, 2019 at 10:26 am said:

Here’s my novel categories, plus a few comments. (I personally consider the Campbell to be a novel category, because I personally won’t nominate for it based on just a shorter work.)

Novel
–Semiosis; Sue Burke
–Thin Air; Richard Morgan (IMHO this deserves it for the marvelous prose if nothing else)
–Circe; Madeline Miller (surprised to not see more love for this; maybe mythology is not popular amongst the Hugo crew?)
–Spinning Silver; Naomi Novik (my top pick)
–Children of Time; Adrian Tchaikovsky (worth it for the worldbuilding)

a few popular novels I read but did not nominate:
— Foundryside (IIRC, too many elements were too convenient, amongst other problems)
— European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman (enjoyable, but not especially meaningful)
— City of Lies (same, plus other problems)
— The Calculating Stars (IMHO too much riding on the coattails of recent “women in the history of space” books and movies, plus obnoxious Mary Sue and annoyingly predictable plot beats)
— The Poppy War (IMHO more a symptom of a promising new writer than a success in itself)
— Before Mars (excellent until the end — I loved it most of the way through but was then let down)
— Witchmark (sweet but slight)
— Trail of Lightning (as with Poppy War — imperfect book, talented writer with some growing to do)
— Space Opera (loved it; I was probably prejudiced against voting for a comedy)
— Revenant gun

I didn’t do nearly as much reading this past year+ as I usually do. (I blame The Magnus Archives podcast, down in my BDP-LF nominations; I’ve been listening and relistening to it obsessively since last summer, and there are only so many hours in the day.) But though my nominating ballot is sparse, it’s high in quality, imo.

…a lot of people voted for Electric State in Art Book, huh.

That’s a tad concerning. I assumed it would be eligible for Graphic Story because of its narrative, plus the Dublin 2019 administrators stated that items eligible for Graphic Story weren’t intended for Art Book. Though I suppose you could make a case. Hopefully we don’t get a repeat of what befell 17776 last year.

I thought that the art was inventive and haunting, but that the story was only half a story, and that it could have been massively improved by either developing the story further or bringing in a collaborator to flesh it out. I didn’t see it as a strong candidate for Graphic Story.

Retro Fan Artist:
Ronald Clyne; art for Le Zombie

Glad to see a second vote for Clyne. I wish I had started working on my Retro Hugo votes sooner. It was a lot of fun poring over the fanzine archive at Fanac and reading the 1943 zines. I just kept on going and started reading the 1944s.
Cora Buhlert on March 17, 2019 at 12:34 pm said:

I think it was you who pointed me to Clyne. I suspect my Mom might have voted for him, too, except that I found about him too late to show her samples of his work.

What struck me about the vintage fanzines is that even though the protagonists change, they were talking about many of the same things we are still talking about today. Also, sometimes you find strange little gems such as a 1940s fanzine dedicated to the promotion of Esperanto.

Many thanks to Mike Glyer for File770, JJ for managing the File770 eligibility posts for some categories, and everyone at File770 for their excellent contributions to the 2018 Recommended post. Very helpful, all of it.

A couple of these are along the lines of “well, I love them and they don’t stand a snowballs of actually getting on the ballot, so I may as well use up this free slot I have right here even if it may not be the most original and mindblowing piece of work I’ve read/watched this year”. Which I’m quite happy with as a risk.
