theweaselkingThe Hugo Award nominees are out.
Unusually for me, I haven't read any of the Best Novel noms, but I can say I have heard great things about almost all of them.
Best Novella: Haven't heard of any of them.
Best Novellette: Haven't heard of any of them.
Best Short Story: Wait, they still make those? Haven't heard of any of them.
Best Nerd Movie: Oh god, the top three nominations suck. Well, not "suck", just "don't deserve anything close to a 'best in year' award". I'd give it to Looper, Hunger Games second, "No Award" above the remaining three.
Best Doctor Who Episode Written By Steven Moffat: This category is terrible and everyone who nominates Doctor Who for it is terrible. I haven't seen the Fringe, but the Game Of Thrones was excellent and NO YOU MUST NOT VOTE DOCTOR WHO FOR THIS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING. Also, all three of those episodes were twee, trite, and boring. They weren't even the best Doctor Who episodes, let alone the best Nerd TV.
The rest: Oh dear.
The entire 2012 Hugo slate makes me weep. Partly because I've never heard of most of them and thus am presumably missing out on the best things 2012 produced, and partly because the nominees I HAVE seen/read? Not good.
