Gaiman, Doctor Who, Joss Whedon, Stross and SFX’s Dave Langford (again) all vying for 2008 Hugo Awards

The Hugos have been announced for 20087, and there are few major shocks, to be honest (unless you’re a Stargate fan). The awards are probably the most respected "SF" honours to win, and still champion that lifeblood of science fiction – the written word.

In the more lightweight categories for those new-fangled moving picture entertainments, surely only The Dark Knight and WALL-E are in with a shout in the film… sorry “Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form” section. And while Doctor Who may have grabbed the glittering prize for “Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form” for the past three years, you can’t help thinking that the competition is a lot tougher this year. Don’t rule out Doctor Horrible – there's a hell of a lot of goodwill for it out there.
