Hugo Did You Say

I just cannot believe that the Hugo List is out. Where does that time go.  I am hoping that one day I will be somewhere as a nominee. I also think that it is sweet that I know some of the nominees and they are kick ass(pardon my German). I hope that you people read through and let me know what you thoughts are on the list.

In the interest of full disclosure, here are the categories and the nominees I chose in each category. Following that I have a few notes. If you’ve voted, and/or if you have an opinion about any of my nominees, I do hope you’ll share.
