2004 Hugo Nomination Results

As required by the WSFS Constitution, we report the top 15 vote-getters in each category. (In no category did anyone else get as many as 5% of the nominations cast in that category.) We validated the eligibility and names/titles of all nominees who might have affected the final ballot, but did not attempt to validate nominees who received fewer nominations. When a nominee received nominations in more than one category, we combined nominations to the correct category where appropriate.
