I guess Hugo nominations are out?

For the people on my flist who don't know, the Hugos are some supposedly-prestigious-but-only-if-you're-a-scifi-nerd-on-the-internet-I-think award for scifi stuff. As someone who generally gives no shits about awards, the Hugos have an unprecedented capacity to make me butthurt. It's partly the Ron Swanson thing, and partly the fact that fandom like to wave them around as incontestable proof of something's quality. As a not-unrelated point, the Hugo awards love Steven Moffat.

So anyway, someone told me earlier that this year's crop for the "short drama presentation" category included "The Doctor's Wife" (fine), "The Girl Who Waited" (yes plz!)... and "A Good Man Goes To War". I kind of grumbled about how at least it's not "Let's Kill Hitler" or "The Wedding of River Song".

( BUT I JUST FOUND OUT THE REMAINING 4TH NOMINEE.Collapse )
