The 2015 Hugo Awards
Aug. 24th, 2015 06:42 amCongratulations to the 2015 Hugo winners!
I'm very pleased that Liu Cixin and Ken Liu won. All of the fiction awards that were given this year went to translated works (that is, Short Story & Novel, the only two which did not end up No Award), which has never happened before and which I think is a wonderful thing. So if I'm gonna lose, I'm glad I lost to The Three-Body Problem.
And extra special congratulations to Wes Chu, this year's Campbell winner!

And Wes Chu's acceptance speech made me laugh.
