    本届候选作品总结一下有下面的三大优势：

    1。Asimov科幻杂志占绝大优势。15篇中短篇候选作品里，来自Asimov科幻杂志的作品占了10篇。其它的科幻杂志都哪里去了？

    2。科幻小说占了绝大优势。5部长篇候选作品里，科幻占了4部。

    3。男作家占了绝大优势。所有候选作家里只有一位女作家。即是长篇候选作品里的唯一一部奇幻作品的作者：Naomi Novik（His Majesty's Dragon）

    Glasshouse by Charles Stross (Ace) Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge (Tor)

    这两位拼起来很有意思。两部小说都是基于Vernor Vinge的奇点（Singularity）理论写的。如果雨果奖在这两部书之间挑的话，到底是给将奇点理论在作品里发扬光大到极至的的Charles Stross呢，还是给奇点理论的创始人Vernor Vinge呢？

    Vernor Vinge的奇点（Singularity）理论

    不是物理学上的那个东西么？

    Charles Stross的SINGULARITY SKY和这本Glasshouse大概没什么联系。Glasshouse是设定在作者最著名的作品Accelerando的世界里。故事发生在“后加速时代”。见这里：

    Vernor Vinge是正儿八经的科学家。
    这里是他提出的关于科学发展的奇点（Singularity）理论：

    奇点理论的主要观点是：当今世界的科技在以指数增长的方式加速发展。这种发展进行到某一时间（奇点）后，我们已经不可能预见到其后果。实际上，Vernor Vinge认为奇点会在2030年前到来。

    Locus Online刚刚贴出了下面的关于本年度雨果奖提名的统计：

    Two of this year's Best Novel nominees, Peter Watts and Naomi Novik, are first-time nominees. Vernor Vinge has 8 previous Hugo nominations and has won 4 times, twice in this category, for A Fire Upon the Deep in 1993 and A Deepness in the Sky in 2000. Charles Stross also has 8 previous nominations, and has now been nominated four times consecutively in the novel category, for Singularity Sky, Iron Sunrise, Accelerando, and now Glasshouse; Stross won the award for novella "The Concrete Jungle" in 2005. Michael Flynn has four Hugo nominations before this year, when he is nominated in both the novel and novelette categories; he has never won.

    Two of the Best Novella finalists are also first-time Hugo nominees, Melko and Shunn, while Michael Swanwick has 20 previous nominations and has won 5 times, all in the short story and novelette categories. Robert Reed has 5 previous nominations, with 2 this year, and has never won; Robert Charles Wilson has 5 previous nominations, and won last year for novel Spin.

    Only Mike Resnick of the Best Novelette nominees has ever won a Hugo, with 28 previous nominations and 2 more this year, and 5 wins in the three short fiction categories, including novelette "The Manamouki" in 1991.

Among Mike Resnick's previous nominations are two in this category, while Joseph T. Major has 2 previous nominations as fan writer, in 1996 and 1998, and John Picacio has 2 previous nominations and one more this year in the Best Artist category.

    The two categories for editor, Editor, Short Form and Editor, Long Form, provide Lou Anders and Ginjer Buchanan with their first Hugo nominations. All the other candidates in these categories have previous nominations, though only Gardner Dozois and David G. Hartwell have ever won -- Dozois, 15 times, and Hartwell, once, last year.

    John Jude Palencar is a first-time nominee in the Best Artist category. Other nominees include perennial favorite Bob Eggleton, with 25 previous nominations and 9 wins, 8 of them in this category. Donato Giancola has 8 previous nominations, and won in this category in last year. John Picacio and Stephan Martiniere have 3 and 1 previous nominations respectively; neither has won a Hugo.

    Best Semiprozine nominees include first-time nominee Gavin Grant, whose co-editor Kelly Link has 2 previous nominations, in fiction categories, and 1 win, for novelette "The Faery Handbag" in 2005. Veterans Charles N. Brown and Dave Langford have dozens of previous nominations apiece and currently tie, at 27, for the most number of Hugo wins by anyone. Langford has a chance this year to break the tie, with nominations both in this category and for best fan writer.

    Best Fanzine nominee Plokta won the past two years and has six earlier nominations. Challenger has now 8 consecutive nominations for Guy H. Lillian III, but has never won.

    Best Fan Writer nominee David Langford has been nominated in this category every year since 1979, and has won in this category every year since 1989. John Scalzi was nominated last year for best novel; this is his first nomination in this category.

    虽然没费心去看英文介绍，不过想起来以前似乎见到过这个说法。看来是借用了速度和视界的概念哦？那么是否他也设定了一个人类预见的速度上限，然后计算出发展的速度超过这个速度吧~

    然而这却是难以计算的~

    大家有没有注意到一个提名里面一件好玩的事：
    Fan Writer
    。。。。。
    John Scalzi

    大名鼎鼎的《老人的战争》的作者，去年雨果奖长篇候选人，
    去年Campbell奖获得者，John Scalzi，今年居然获得了
    最佳科幻迷作者的提名！看看这家伙怎么得意的：

    "So, my nomination for Best Fan Writer. As you may know, the Hugo committee lets the nominees know a bit ahead of time that they're nominated, so they can accept or decline. So, there I am, typing something on the SFWA newsgroups when I get a ping in my e-mail telling me I have a Hugo nomination. And so I think to myself, huh, I wonder which of the books got nominated, and then I opened up the e-mail to discover the answer was "none of the above." Then I laughed out loud, and then I thunked my head on the desk at the absurdity of it all. Then I took some aspirin, because I had given myself a headache. Yeah, I'm stupid sometimes.

    Interestingly enough, I am not the first person to have been nominated for Best Fan Writer after having been nominated for Best Novel -- Piers Anthony did it (he was even nominated for Best Fan Writer and Best Novel in the same year), but it's been 37 years since it happened last. I am, however, the first Campbell winner nominated for Best Fan Writer, so I've got that bit of Hugo trivia going for me. Also I believe I am the first Best Fan Writer nominee ever to be running for president of SFWA at the time of his nomination. As if that campaign wasn't weird enough already."

    不知道北星大哥看过获短篇提名的"Kin" by Bruce McAllister (Asimov's February 2006) 没有，老美偏偏把这期杂志给寄丢了，Asimov's的网站上也只是节选，所以不知道优劣。

    北星 楼主 2007-04-02 14:52:12

    俺的那本(Asimov's February 2006) 到是没有寄丢。不过还没有时间看。有时间看看去。估计Asimov网站上很快就会全文登出了。

    另外，寄丢了的话你也许可以找他们要回来。俺就找他们要回来过。

    非愚人节玩笑的新闻:

    Nippoon2007雨果奖主持者4月1日宣布：今年雨果奖的最佳长戏剧表现奖提名有错。原来上榜的
    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
    去掉，换上
    Pan's Labyrinth
    并特别指出，在4月1日抛出该新闻实出无奈。该新闻确确实实是真正的新闻，而不是愚人节玩笑云云。

    新闻原文如下：
    http://www.nippon2007.us/hugo_correction_press_release.html

    Hugo Correction Announced
    April 1, 2007

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    CORRECTION MADE TO HUGO BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION CATEGORY

    Nippon 2007 announces that it has made an error in tabulating nomination votes for one category of the 2007 Hugo Awards. As a result the film Pan's Labyrinth was mistakenly omitted from the final ballot and another film was mistakenly included. Nippon 2007 is distributing corrected ballots and has announced steps to try to ensure that the error has no effect on the awards.

    During a final audit of the Hugo Nomination Ballots it was discovered that the Best Dramatic Presentation Long Form data set had been corrupted. The number of records was correct so there was no immediate indication that the data had been corrupted. It was only during the subsequent audit that the corruption was discovered. We apologize to everyone for this error.

    All data has been completely re-tabulated and only the Best Dramatic Presentation Long Form was affected. The following nominees should have been shown on the ballot:

    Dramatic Long Form
    Votes: 677 Voters: 243
    Range: 40 - 102


    Children of Men Screenplay by Alfonso Cuaron and Timothy J. Sexton. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron. (Universal Pictures)

    Pan's Labyrinth Screenplay by Guillermo del Toro. Directed by Guillermo del Toro. (Picturehouse)

    The Prestige Screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan. Directed by Christopher Nolan. (Touchstone Pictures)

    A Scanner Darkly Screenplay by Richard Linklater. Directed by Richard Linklater. (Warner Independent Pictures)

    V for Vendetta Screenplay by The Wachowski Brothers. Directed by James McTeigue (Warner Bros.)

    All online forms have been updated to reflect the correction that was necessary. You may download a corrected form directly from the website at: www.nippon2007.us
    The corrected ballot will also be included in Progress Report 5.

    A Postcard will be sent to all members to notify them of the change in this category as well.

    The Hugo Administrator will make every effort to contact anyone who has already voted or who subsequently votes using the uncorrected ballot. These voters will be given an opportunity to revise their votes in the Best Dramatic Presentation Category. Anyone who may have already returned his or her ballot may also correct this category by contacting the Hugo Administrator at: hugoadmin@nippon2007.us with a revised vote in this category. You may also vote online using the PIN and your membership number that was on the recent mailing of the Hugo and Site Selection Ballots and will also be included with Progress Report 5. Your online ballot will take precedence over a written ballot if both are received.


    As a further precaution for the final tabulation, the ballots will be counted simultaneously by two different parties in two different locations to ensure that the data received is correct.

    Please contact: hugoadmin@nippon2007.us with any questions.

    Our apologies for the inconvenience and embarrassment this has caused. We will work with all individuals to make sure this situation is handled quickly and effectively for everyone concerned. We ask that if you see the incorrect information posted anywhere that you notify us at hugoadmin@nippon2007.us so that we can contact the poster with the correct information. Sadly, this is not an "April Fools Joke"; despite the misfortune of today's date. We wanted to release the correct information as soon as we were sure of the problem and the solution.

    Corrected Hugo Ballot FAQ：

    注意这条：
    Question: Is this an April Fools Day joke?

    Answer: No it isn't. Really. No kidding. In fact, we were worried enough about this reaction that we considered delaying the announcement for an additional day just to avoid this perception. In the end, we decided that the highest priority was to get the news out as quickly as possible, and so we released the news when it was still April 1 (as least in many of the timezones in which Nippon 2007 members live).
