2022 was a semi-normal year. https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/blog/comparison-hugo-nomination-distribution-statistics/images/2022-distribution.jpg?itok=c2h-1mDu https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public...
2015 is the worst prior year. https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/blog/comparison-hugo-nomination-distribution-statistics/images/2015-distribution.jpg?itok=P_IKIDZd https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public...
2023 has weird cliff voting. https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/blog/comparison-hugo-nomination-distribution-statistics/images/2023-distribution.jpg?itok=BuoSa98A https://alpennia.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public...
- mintplant 3y agoFor reference, 2015 was the year the "Sad Puppies"/"Rabid Puppies" slates tried hard to skew the vote for the alt-right, and managed to distort the set of nominated works. "No Award" won many categories that year as a protest vote by WorldCon attendees. (Many jokes were made that year about "Noah Ward", multi-Hugo-winning author extraordinaire...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies
