    Where is The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss? That book is the greatest thing sine LOTR…and it wasn’t nominated last year either! What is wrong with you people? Rothfuss is an instant master and he deserves to be seen as such…

  46. Cheryl Morgan on 7 Apr 2010 at 10:46 am: 46

    TD: The Name of the Wind was published in 2007 so it was not eligible either this year or last year. It was, of course, eligible in 2008, when it finished 15th in the nominations for Best Novel.

  47. Alex C. Telander on 7 Apr 2010 at 11:20 am: 47

  48. FailFandom to Hugo Awards: Pity? I don’t think so at Feminist SF – The Blog! on 7 Apr 2010 at 1:18 pm: 48

    [...] Not one of those six categories is a men-only short list. (In fact, the only men-only short list in the Hugo Awards this year is that of Best Professional Artist.) Also, the numbers of women and men are approximately equal in three out of the six categories: Best Novelette (three women, three men) and for the first time in over a decade the Best Short Story category (two women, three men) and, in a complicated kind of way, the Best Related Book category (six entries, three with women authors, two major works of feminist science-fiction). Kevin Standlee extended his sympathy afterwards because The meeting voted overwhelmingly to kill this motion without debate. [...]
