NewsFlash: Hugo Awards 2011

The 2011 Hugo Awards took place yesterday at the 69th World Science Fiction Convention in Reno, Nevada. And if you write television shows about mad men with blue boxes, or books about television shows about mad men with blue boxes, then it was a good night for you.

Steven Moffat picked up his gazillionth award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) this time for 'The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang'. I like to think it was the fez wot won it.

Moffat wasn't the only Who-related winner of the evening. Lynne M. Thomas and Tara O'Shea's book, Chicks Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the Women Who Love It, took home Best Related Work.

In non-Doctor Who related news, Christopher Nolan won Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) for Inception. I think we can all agree that he more than deserved it.
