Serenity won the Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form, in 2006 and also the 2005 Nebula for Best Script. There was only one other finalist for the Nebula, the Battlstar Galactica episodes "Act of Contrition"/"You Can't Go Home Again"; the Hugo field was more crowded; but Serenity was well ahead at nominations and needed only one round of ( Read more... )
