[SKRIVA] Hugo-nomineringarna

(Från en annan lista. --AE)

Nippon 2007 has announced the nominees for the 2007 Hugo Awards (for
work done in 2006). The winners will be announced at the Hugo Awards
Ceremonies during the 65th World Science Fiction Convention in
Yokohama, Japan, on Saturday, September 1st. See
http://www.nippon2007.us

For PROFESSIONAL ARTIST, the candidates are:

Bob Eggleton [again - 17th straight year]
Donato Giancola [again - 9th straight year]
John Picacio [again - 3rd straight year]
Stephan Martiniere [again - 2nd straight year]
John Jude Palencar somebody new!!]

Last year's winner was Giancola. The previous winner, Jim Burns,
wasn't nominated.

They really should have a category for new / up-and-comers. I have a
feeling people are voting on name recognition only.

Shouldn't there be a retro award this year for 1932?? In which case I
nominate Wesso for his Astounding covers. Alex Raymond would be up
soon.

The list of all-time nominees / winners is at

- where you will also find bios of each.
