1. Congrats to [livejournal.com profile] mabfan on his two noms.

2. As usual, I have read none of the novels up for that prize. And have heard of only the GRRM book. But I will note my surprise that Anansi Boys and Harry Potter 6 were not nominated. I thought that at least one, if not both, would get in simply on the popularity of the authors.

3. Some collection of films up for best long-form dramatic presentation (aka best film)! My vote would go to Serenity, though I won't complain if Batman Begins. Of the five, the only I haven't seen yet is Wallace and Gromit. No surprise that Episode III was ignored. Some surprise that neither of Burton's films were nominated.

4. Three nominations for four episodes of Doctor Who, all of which will air in the US before the vote closes. My pick? "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances".

5. And so much for the best video game prize. "Not to be awarded due to lack of interest." Can't say I'm surprised. I would bet that most Hugo voters are like me and remain indifferent about such things.
