HE HUGO NOMINATIONS1980

The Noreascon Committee received 563 Hugo Award nominating ballots. Michael Moorcock was nominated for the Gandalf Award but was not placed on the final ballot because of his wish not to take part. Connie Willis received enough votes for the Campbell Award, but was declared ineligible because of a story in 1970. Somtow Sucharitkul had a story in a small circulation magazine in 1977 but was declared eligible anyway. The range figures indicate how many nominations the highest and lowest got.
