The full list of nominees can be found at SOURCE #2. (Or just watch the video.)
The Retro Hugos will be awarded on August 15, 2019, and the 2019 Hugos will be awarded on August 18, 2019, in sunny and balmy Dublin, Ireland. ;-) If you would like to vote on the finalists, I believe the only way you can do that is by being at least a supporting member to Dublin 2019/active member of the WSFS. In past years members have gotten (electronic?) copies of some of the nominated works, so it might be worth the 40 Euros, idk, especially if they cough up the best series nominees. And if I understand it correctly, you will be able to nominate works for the 2020 & 1945(?) Retro Hugo awards.

Feel free to make this a book/writing/art/music/audio/TV/movie post. Any glaring omissions, ONTD? This is for *sure* very English-language/US-heavy for an "international" award. Any non-English language/US fantasy and/or science fiction that tickled your fancy in 2018? In 2019? Something upcoming?
