The Hugo Awards are given every year by the World Science Fiction Society for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements of the previous year. The award is named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and was once officially known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award.[1] The award has been described as "a fine showcase for speculative fiction" and "the best known literary award for science fiction writing".[2][3] The Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation was given each year for theatrical movies, television episodes, or other dramatized works related to science fiction or fantasy released in the previous calendar year.[4]

The award was first presented in 1958, and with the exceptions of 1964 and 1966 was given annually through 2002 when it was retired in favor of the newly created Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) and Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) categories, which divided the category depending on whether the work was longer or shorter than 90 minutes. In the 1964 and 1966 awards there were insufficient nominations made to support the category.[5][6] In addition to the regular Hugo awards, beginning in 1996 Retrospective Hugo Awards, or "Retro Hugos", have been available to be awarded for years 50, 75, or 100 years prior in which no awards were given.[7] To date, Retro Hugo awards have been awarded for 1946, 1951, and 1954; the first two were for the Best Dramatic Presentation category while the 1954 awards were for the Short Form category. There were insufficient nominations to support an award in the Long Form category for that year.[8]

Hugo Award nominees and winners are chosen by supporting or attending members of the annual World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) and the presentation evening constitutes its central event. The selection process is defined in the World Science Fiction Society Constitution as instant-runoff voting with five nominees, except in the case of a tie. These five works on the ballot are the five most-nominated by members that year, with no limit on the number of works that can be nominated. The 1958 awards did not include any recognition of runner-up magazines, but since 1959 all five candidates were recorded.[7] Initial nominations are made by members in January through March, while voting on the ballot of five nominations is performed roughly in April through July, subject to change depending on when that year's Worldcon is held.[9] Worldcons are generally held near the start of September, and are held in a different city around the world each year.[1][10] Members are permitted to vote "no award", if they feel that none of the nominees is deserving of the award that year, and in the case that "no award" takes the majority the Hugo is not given in that category. This has happened in the Dramatic Presentation category four times, in 1959, 1963, 1971, and 1977.[11][12][13][14]

During the fifty-four nomination years, forty-three awards for Best Dramatic Presentation, eight awards for Short Form and Long Form, and three Retro Hugo awards have been given. One of these was for non-fiction; in 1970 it was awarded to news coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.[15] The series or franchises with the most awards are Doctor Who, with four Short Form awards out of fourteen nominations, and Star Trek, with two Best Dramatic Presentation awards for the original series and two for The Next Generation out of twenty-four total nominations for the overall franchise. Other franchises with multiple awards or nominations include The Twilight Zone, with three wins out of four nominations; Babylon 5, with two out of four; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with one out of six; Battlestar Galactica, with one out of five; and Harry Potter, with five nominations and no awards.

Winners and nominees

In the following tables, the years correspond to the date of the ceremony, rather than when the work was first published. Entries with a blue background and an asterisk (*) next to the work's name have won the award; those with a white background are the nominees on the short-list. Entries with a gray background and a plus sign (+) mark a year when "no award" was selected as the winner. In the case of television presentations, the award is generally for a particular episode rather than for a program as a whole; however, sometimes, as in the case of The Twilight Zone, it was given for the series' body of work that year rather than for any particular episode.

Retro Hugos

Beginning with the 1996 Worldcon, the World Science Fiction Society created the concept of "Retro Hugos", in which the Hugo award could be retroactively awarded for 50, 75, or 100 years prior. Retro Hugos may only be awarded for years in which a Worldcon was hosted, but no awards were originally given.[7][Note 1] Retro Hugos have been awarded three times, for 1946, 1951, and 1954. All of these awards were given 50 years later.[8] In 1946 and 1951, an award was given for Best Dramatic Presentation, while in 1954 an award was given for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. The Long Form category did not receive enough nominations for an award to be given. The next year that Retro Hugos can be awarded is 2014, for 1939.[7]

Notes

  1. ^ Although no "Best Dramatic Presentation" Hugo was awarded at the 1957 convention, Hugos were awarded in other categories, hence there was no "Retro Hugo" for 1957 awarded in 2007.
