Hugo Awards 2019: Die Gewinner

Hugo Awards 2019: Die Gewinner

Am ver­gan­ge­nen Wochen­en­de wur­den auf dem SF-Welt­con in Dub­lin die dies­jäh­ri­gen Hugo-Awards ver­lie­hen, einer der wich­tigs­ten Aus­zeich­nun­gen im Phan­tas­tik-Bereich überhaupt.

Bemer­kens­wert fin­de ich ins­be­son­de­re, dass Becky Cham­bers WAY­FA­RERS-Rei­he (der ers­te Titel dar­aus war THE LONG WAY TO A SMALL, ANGRY PLANET) als bes­te Serie gewon­nen hat. Und das bei einer Publi­ka­ti­on, die zuerst im Self­pu­bli­shing erschien, weil kein Ver­lag sie auch nur mit der Kneif­zan­ge anfas­sen wollte.

Im Fol­gen­den die Nomi­nier­ten und Gewin­ner, letz­te­re erkennt man an der fet­ten Dar­stel­lung. Gewis­se Kräf­te in der deut­schen Wiki­pe­dia soll­ten auch hier ihr Augen­merk dar­auf legen, wie vie­le Frau­en unter den Gewin­nern sind …

Die Hugo-Awards 2012 (Update)

Huch, da hät­te ich doch vor lau­ter arbeit fast die Ver­lei­hung der dies­jäh­ri­gen Hugo-Awards über­se­hen, glück­li­cher­wei­se wies Sean auf sei­ner Sei­te Wort­wel­len dar­auf hin, Dan­ke dafür.

Als bes­ter Roman wur­de Jo Waltons AMONG OTHERS aus­ge­zeich­net, eine Geschich­te um ein magie­be­gab­tes Mäd­chen in einem bri­ti­schen Inter­nat. Da könn­te man an eine Pot­ter-Epi­go­ne den­ken, aber tat­säch­lich ist die Her­an­ge­hens­wei­se eine deut­lich ande­re als beim popu­lä­ren Zau­ber­lehr­ling. AMONG OTHERS konn­te sich gegen Iko­nen wie Mar­tins A DANCE WITH DRAGONS oder Mié­vil­les EMBASSYTOWN durch­set­zen. Die bes­te Novel­le THE MAN WHO BRIDGED THE MIST stammt von Kij John­son. Äußerst posi­tiv fin­de ich die Tat­sa­che, dass man die nomi­nier­ten Novel­len heut­zu­ta­ge oft pro­blem­los als eBook erwer­ben kann, frü­her kam man nur schwer an das Mate­ri­al heran.

Im Bereich beweg­te Bil­der (lang) ließ die Fern­seh­se­rie GAME OF THRONES nicht ganz uner­war­tet alle ande­ren hin­ter sich, dar­un­ter auch HARRY POTTER und HUGO (CABRET). Als bes­te TV-Epi­so­de wur­de erneut eine DOCTOR WHO-Fol­ge aus­ge­zeich­net, näm­lich THE DOCTOR´S WIFE. Ins­ge­samt waren drei Epi­so­den der bri­ti­schen Kult­se­rie nomi­niert worden.

[Update 11:00 Uhr:] Der Live­stream von der Ver­an­stal­tung wur­de auf­grund angeb­li­cher Urhe­ber­rechts­ver­stö­ße unter­bro­chen (eng­li­scher Arti­kel auf io9). Kon­kre­ter Grund waren Clips aus nomi­nier­ten Fern­seh­se­ri­en. Das ist natür­lich ein gro­ßer Lach­schla­ger, dass von auf Drän­gen der Ver­wert­er­ma­fia ein­ge­führ­ten auto­ma­ti­sier­ten Maß­nah­men gera­de ein sol­cher Stream weg­ge­boxt wird. Und es wirft ein bezeich­nen­des Licht dar­auf, was mit dem Netz gesche­hen könn­te (und schon geschieht), wenn man die Ver­wer­ter­lob­bies wei­ter machen lässt.

Alle Aus­zeich­nun­gen fin­den sich im voll­stän­di­gen Artikel.

Hugo-Nominierungen 2012

Die 2012er Nomi­nier­ten­lis­te für die all­jähr­lich von der World Sci­ence Fic­tion Socie­ty ver­lie­he­nen Hugo-Awards ist raus. Nun mag man an der Sinn­haf­tig­keit von sol­chen Aus­zeich­nun­gen grund­sätz­lich zwei­feln, aller­dings sehe ich in den US-Prei­sen aus ver­schie­de­nen Grün­den mehr Inhalt und Kom­pe­tenz als bei den hie­si­gen: die schie­re Men­ge an Abstim­men­den ist eben­so viel grö­ßer als bei uns, wie auch die pure Men­ge an Phan­tas­tik-Out­put in den Staa­ten (von der wir hier lei­der nur einen ver­schwin­dend gerin­gen Bruch­teil zu sehen bekommen).

Ich hal­te die US-Nomi­nie­run­gen und ‑Ver­lei­hun­gen des­we­gen ins­be­son­de­re für eine treff­li­che Vor­schlags­lis­te, die dem inter­es­sier­ten Leser pri­ma Hin­wei­se gibt, was man sich mal zum Lesen oder in Sachen Fil­me und Fern­seh­se­ri­en zum Anse­hen vor­neh­men soll­te. Und das gera­de des­we­gen, weil es mög­li­cher­wei­se nicht in deut­scher Spra­che erscheint, da die Ableh­ner Ent­schei­der bei den Publi­kums­ver­la­gen der Ansicht sind, dass das hier­zu­lan­de eh nie­mand liest.

Die Hugos wer­den am 2. Sep­tem­ber 2012 auf dem sieb­ten Chi­con in Chi­ca­go verliehen.

Best Novel (932 ballots)
Among Others by Jo Walton (Tor)
A Dance With Dra­gons by Geor­ge R. R. Mar­tin (Ban­tam Spectra)
Dead­line by Mira Grant (Orbit)

Die Hugo Awards 2011

Ges­tern wur­den auf der 69. World Sci­ence Fic­tion Con­ven­ti­on in Reno, Neva­da, die dies­jäh­ri­gen Hugo Awards vergeben.

Wie bereits bei den Nebu­la Awards gewan­nen BLACKOUT/ALL CLEAR von Con­nie Wil­lis die Aus­zeich­nung für den bes­ten Roman (das ist bereits ihr elf­ter Hugo…), als bes­te Novel­le (also für Wer­ke, die län­ger als Kurz­ge­schich­ten aber kür­zer als Roma­ne sind) wur­de Ted Chiangs THE LIFECYCLE OF SOFTWARE OBJECTS mit dem Preis bedacht. Als bes­ter Comic wur­de die zehn­te Aus­ga­be des Steam­punk-Comics GIRL GENIUS von Phil und Kaja Foglio geehrt. In Sachen Film griff wie­der ein­mal INCEPTION den Preis ab und DR. WHO kann sich über eine Ehrung in Sachen TV freuen.
