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.

Although the stage tonight has a very British feel (well, London at least), this ceremony celebrates the worldwide appeal of science fiction. Presenting awards tonight, there are guests from Britain and America, but also Nigeria, China, Canada, and even Australia – just to mention a few of the countries as the members of this convention come from all over the globe – and our list of nomi- nees hail from around the world too. However, it is not just the geographical diversity of our field that we celebrate tonight – it’s the diversity within fandom. Although you might not like the styles of all of the nominated works and you might not choose to read all the myriad sub-genres that exist within speculative fiction, tonight they have their place as Hugo Award nominees, chosen by the community of fans. As Ray Bradbury put it, “Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science.

Late in ‘■"z 1977, when I was nerving up to start a fannish newzine to succeed KARASS, I found it difficult to find a title that had not been previously used. I looked through dictionaries, and the Thesaurus. I scanned Bruce Pelz’ voluminous fanzine index. I declined offers to revive titles like FANAC and STARSPINKLE. It became my contention that all the good sf story references usable as newzine titles had been taken.

    Strange. Beautiful. Shocking. Surreal. “One of the trailblazing publishers of short-form science fiction, fantasy, and horror.” — Jason Heller, The A.V. Club Mission Statement Apex Magazine (http://www.apex-magazine.com) has been called all of these things since its inception. For more than ten years, Apex has been dazzling readers with its originality, fearlessness, and commitment to the very best. A three-time Hugo nominee, Apex Magazine is regarded as a trailblazer in the field of science fiction. A self-proclaimed mash-up of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, Apex delivers on the adage that a short story can take you to the end of the galaxy and back before dinner. The Magazine Apex has given a megaphone to some of the most unique and com- pelling voices of the past decade. Now one of the most recognizable names in the industry, Apex has become one of the standards that all others try to meet. From its hard-edged science fiction to magical realism, Apex has something to satisfy every fantastic taste. A two- time winner of the Nebula Award for Best Short Story (2014, 2015) and four-time nominee, the magazine continues to provide readers with some of the most thought-provoking and diverse fiction in the genre. Apex Magazine provides a monthly podcast for listeners to hear their favorite stories at a moment’s notice. The magazine also pub- lishes poetry, and it has had numerous pieces nominated for the Rhysling Award. Never one to play it safe, Apex’s stories blur the line between sci- ence fact and science fiction.
