It's that time of year when genre readers nominate their favorite works for the annual Hugo Awards. My nominees follow. Updates to be made as circumstances require. I have one or two other properties that I might nominate for the Dramatic Presentation (Long) category.
If you love science fiction/fantasy works and want to see the best of those works be acknowledged, then please participate. You can purchase a membership at the Discon III website. Supporting members still get a chance to vote on this year's finalists and will be eligible to nominate for the 2022 awards. Members generally get access to a great range of fiction in the voter's packets.
As always, please don't nominate anything that you haven't personally experienced.

* In light of Disney Studios' canceling of Gina Carano, I feel disinclined to support their products. I am uncomfortable with the larger changes to our society over the last 20 years. Where once tolerance for diversity was perceived as a laudable benefit to advancing the human condition, we are no longer able to appreciate a diversity of opinion.
With respect to Science Fiction/Fantasy, I would prefer to appreciate a diversity of works while largely ignoring the personal behaviors of creators. Ms. Carano's statements might be worthy of a critical response. They are unworthy of terminating a creative relationship.
Should The Mandolorian make it to the final round, it would surely go below "no award" on my ballot.
