Honor Among Thieves ist für den #HugoAward in der Kategorie "Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form" und #BaldursGate3 in der Kategorie "Best Game or Interactive Work" nominiert.
Der #DnD Film hat harte Konkurrenz, er tritt u.a. gegen Barbie, Nimona und Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse an. BG3 steht ebenfalls neben starken anderen Titeln (u.a. Alan Wake 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom), aber da würde ich mich auf Larians Spiel festlegen
With the Chengdu Hugo team refusing to explain their exclusion of facially-qualified nominees, is there a mechanism by which the Glasgow Business Meeting may inquire formally to the Chengdu Committee? I labor under no illusion that they'll feel obligated to respond, but it puts fandom on the record.
I'm actually tempted to propose a resolution putting an asterisk on the 2023 Hugos, but that would unfairly punish the winners, who are in no way culpable.
I accepted a new job yesterday (which will be much better for my physical and mental health), and today woke up to find out the SPECTACULAR @UncannyMagazine team (of which I am a part) won the #HugoAward for Best Semiprozine!
It's a helluva Saturday, folks! I am so deeply honoured and happy! I'm sending a lil piece of joy out to each and every one of you!

The 2023 Hugo Award shortlist (prose fiction categories only) includes authors who were born in nine different countries: the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Taiwan, and New Zealand.
It is the most international #HugoAward ballot ever.
In a long but interesting dialog with #Stanford professor #AlisonGopnik* about how future sentient #AGI's would need to be reared, he even classified them as "#thermostats."
