Ever since the same author won the award three years in a row the Hugo awards have been an utter joke.
- rsynnott 3y agoHuh? People have won it _twice_ in a row, repeatedly, and the three times in a row thing nearly happened before (with Heinlein). Like, you could have a rule that the previous year's winner wasn't eligible I suppose, but I'm not sure I particularly see the point.
- johncessna 3y agoHugo awards have been more about agendas than SciFi or Fantasy. This is just another variation.
- causality0 3y agoJudging by most of the comments over the submissions today, people are really not comfortable with someone pointing out how consistent with past behavior this is. We just happened to get proof leaked this time.
- readthenotes1 3y agoThey are as relevant as the Oscars. Nowadays if I see a book has won a Hugo or an Oscar, I am biased against it. The slogan for this year, "Hugo's so cowardly" springs to mind
- kevinventullo 3y agoFor what it’s worth, I quite enjoyed Parasite and Everything Everywhere All At Once, “despite” the fact that they won Oscars.
- rurban 3y agoYes, but they were outliers. And Hugo is much more political than the Oscars. Always was.
- Wohlf 3y agoThey've been a joke for over a decade, at first it was just politics but the quality of writing is well below that of Hunger Games.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoWhat novels would you suggest instead published in each of the last 10 years?
- kiwih 3y agoI quite enjoyed the broken earth trilogy, and took no issue from each entry winning. Which book would you have preferred win from those years?
- livueta 3y agoI also quite liked the trilogy but do kinda think that Yoon Ha Lee got robbed back to back to back and should have won at least one of those three years.
- zem 3y agonothing against jemisin either, and I enjoyed the trilogy, but I was rooting heavily for "a closed and common orbit" in 2017.
