Connie Willis go the full set this year - Nebula, Locus and now Hugo. I really need to read that - I loved all the other time traveling books and I loved the Fire Watch short story. I will get to it after I finish Mira Grant's Feed sequel. I liked Feed so much I started reading Deadline right away (this is the best thing about Kindle - instant access). The Hugo crowd seem to agree as she scored the sceond place.
I don't think anyone is surprised by either Inception or Doctor Who getting one. I'm also not surprised by Ted Chiang adding another one to his collection - I called it as soon as it came out. I'm a little sad Peter Watts's The Things didn't get Short Story but I didn't read For Want of a Nail so I can't really judge. Congratulations to clarkesworld. And Shaun Tan probably needs separate room for all the awards by now.
