Blink

It is not terribly surprising to see Blink win the Hugo for Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. I was pulling for Paul Cornell, but that was as much because Moffat already has two of them and not anything against Blink in particular -- I think the Human Nature/Blink combination is probably the best single DVD of Doctor Who in existence -- and possibly even the best possible Doctor Who DVD in existence.

Of course, it'll be interesting to see if Moffat will be able to keep winning Hugos once he is the showrunner...

The Doctor Who Hugo trend continues

For the second year in a row three Doctor Who episodes having been nominated for a Hugo. And I know if I was a voter The Girl in the Fireplace would definitely have my vote.

Doctor Who Hugo Award

Someone posted the Hugo award cermony where The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances wins the best Short Form Dramatic Presentation Hugo onto YouTube. It's rather nice to have a place where the award cermonies for events that aren't high enough profile to be broadcast on cable to end up...

Hugo Breakdown

Here is the voting breakdown for the Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. The Doctor Who two parter, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances wins.

It is also a great example of the way the Hugo voting is calculated -- I saw some comments from people unfamiliar with the voting procedures were concerned that having three Doctor Who episodes against each other would mean that they would compete against each other and something else would win. And if they had only looked at first place ballots, that would have been the case. But they consider the full ranking of people's ballots, so there didn't have to be any conspiracy about deciding which of the three Doctor Who episode was best before voting amongst all of the people that top three picks were Who episodes.
