Hugo Awards 2026

Here are the winners for the Hugo Awards 2026. Still undecided at repeating the voting experiment next year…!

Best Novel
The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow (Tor US; Tor UK) [a Locus Awardee 2026, which I did not like, esp. when comparing it to A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett]

Best Novella
The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar (Tordotcom; Arcadia UK) [nice fairy tale I rather enjoyed]

Best Series
Old Man’s War by John Scalzi (Tor US; Tor UK) [the easy way out, although I voted for the Chronicles of Osreth instead]

Best Graphic Story or Comic
A Wizard of Earthsea: A Graphic Novel, written by Ursula K. Le Guin, adapted and art by Fred Fordham (Clarion Books; Walker UK) [my choice, by default]

Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form
Sinners, screenplay by Ryan Coogler, directed by Ryan Coogler (Proximity Media, Warner Bros. Pictures) [not seen!]

Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form
Murderbot: “All Systems Red”, written by Paul Weitz & Chris Weitz, directed by Roseanne Liang, based on the book All Systems Red by Martha Wells (Apple TV) [reasonably enjoyable, my choice]
