In this case, you assign a rank of 1-7 (including a rank for "No Award") to each of the nominees and the one with the highest rank in all categories gets the prize. So the chances for Doctor Who to take it are actually improved. Plus, the voting is held on site at WorldCon by the attendees, and this year is being held in London. So I would say Doctor Who is pretty much a shoe-in this year.PCJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698633536476611571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904304611224069964.post-8093904481555106632014-04-20T18:49:24.356+01:002014-04-20T18:49:24.356+01:00Hugo Awards command high praise.

I like Peter Davison, and having him win a Hugo would be brilliant!<br /><br />My problem is that no one outside of the UK has seen The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, at least no one in the US! I can't watch it online because "it's not licensed" in my area! I can't buy it on Amazon or iTunes! So I'm pissed at the BBC! <br /><br />Why is a piece that can't be viewed by anyone in the US being nominated for a Hugo?PCJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698633536476611571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904304611224069964.post-36682125271447898092014-04-20T00:38:52.303+01:002014-04-20T00:38:52.303+01:00hmm...i worry about such mass nominations: it may ...hmm...i worry about such mass nominations: it may "split the vote" among Dr. Who fan voters and give the award to something else.<br /><br />Such a thing happened with Disney at the Oscars one year - two songs from their animated hit were nominated, with the result that neither won.PCJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09698633536476611571noreply@blogger.com
