Second
in prestige in the science fiction and fantasy community only to the Nebulas,
the Hugo Awards have been handed out every year by the World Science Fiction
Society at Worldcon. Unlike the Nebula, Hugo awards are voted on by members at that
convention. For the first few years, only the winners were announced; after the
late 50s, winners and nominees were revealed. Winners are listed first, but
three years ended in a tie: 1966, 1993 and 2010. There are a couple of other
weird anomalies: The Moon is a Harsh
Mistress appears twice because it was published in magazines over the
course of two years, and Dune World,
also appearing in magazine form, was re-nominated as Dune when it appeared as a standalone novel. In the late 90s the
society started awarding Retro Hugos at significant anniversaries.
Winners
and nominees I’ve read are highlighted in bold. Of the 293 total nominees, I’ve
read 117, or about 40 percent of them. I’ve definitely read more Hugo nominees
than Nebula nominees, although it should be noted there is some crossover
between the awards so reading certain titles allows you to come closer to
completing both lists.Thanks to Jeff for reminding me that I have indeed read The Left Hand of Darkness; hence, it's marked as read here.
