2019 Hugo Awards
2019 Hugo Results
Final ballot summary 3097 votes were cast for the final ballot in all 20 categories, 3089 online and 8 by paper ballot. This is higher than the number of votes cast in 2018, or in any year up to 2013, but lower than the years 2014-2017. In all cases, the first preference votes for candidates other than No Award exceeded 25% of the total of 3097. In all cases, the votes preferring the winning candidate to No Award exceeded the votes preferring No Award to the winning candidate.
All but two of the winners had the most first preferences in their categories. The exceptions:
Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form: The Good Place: “Janet(s)” came from third place to overtake Dirty Computer and The Expanse: Abaddon’s Gate Best Graphic Story: Monstress, Volume 3: Haven started in second place but got enough transfers to overtake Black Panther: Long Live the King.
The only category where fewer than six rounds of counting were required to determine the winner was Best Fancast, where Our Opinions Are Correct won on the fifth count.
The closest results were:
Best Graphic Story: Monstress, Volume 3: Haven beat Black Panther: Long Live the King by 8 votes. Best Novella: “If at First You Don’t Succeed, Try, Try Again” beat “The Last Banquet of Temporal Confections” by 9 votes. John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer: Jeannette Ng beat Rivers Solomon by 43 votes.
At lower rankings, there were three closer results:
Best Related Work: The Mexicanx Initiative beat Astounding by 4 votes for fourth place. Best Fancast: The Skiffy and Fanty Show beat The Coode Street Podcast also by 4 votes for fifth place. Best Fan Writer: Bogi Takács beat Elsa Sjunneson-Henry again by 4 votes for second place.
Nominations summary 1800 valid nominating ballots (1797 electronic and 3 paper) were received. This is less than any year since 2014, but more than any year up to 2013.
The following nominees received enough votes to qualify for the final ballot, but declined nomination:
Best Novella: Martha Wells declined nomination for both Exit Strategy and Rogue Protocol. Best Fanzine: Mike Glyer declined nomination for File 770.
In addition, in the Best Art Book category: Terry Pratchett's Discworld Imaginarium, by Paul Kidby, received enough votes to qualify for the final ballot, but was published in 2017 and therefore was not eligible.
Hugo Administrators do not normally comment on the eligibility of nominees that did not qualify for the final ballot. However, as the Best Art Book award is a special category awarded under §3.3.19 of the WSFS Constitution, it may be relevant to note that the next nominee in sequence, Beyond Science Fiction: The Alternative Realism of Michael Whelan, would also have been ineligible due to publication in 2017.
We received queries about the eligibility of two finalists.
Best Related Work: the Administrators determined that Archive of Our Own is noteworthy primarily for aspects other than the fictional text that it hosts, and therefore qualifies for the 2019 Hugos. Best Graphic Story: the Administrators determined that the 2018 print publication of On A Sunbeam is sufficiently modified from the 2016-17 web publication to qualify for the 2019 Hugos in its own right.
The closest result at nominations stage was in Best Professional Artist, where Tommy Arnold would have displaced Victo Ngai from the ballot with just one more nominating vote. Best Novel 2455 ballots total; 2414 not including No Award; 2414 > 25% of 3097.
