Hugo Awards Nominations Announced

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.

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.
