2009年科幻雨果奖提名公布

世界科幻大奖的雨果奖，公布了2009年的提名。
雨果奖是世界科幻协会（World Science Fiction Society，简称WSFS）为奖励最佳科幻和奇幻作品所设立的奖项，自1953年起每年在世界科幻大会（World Science Fiction Convention）上颁发，得名于《惊奇故事》（Amazing Stories）的创办人雨果·根斯巴克。评选方法是首先由世界科幻协会会员提名，然后根据固定的程序最终确定。

今年突出的一点就是增设了“图画故事”奖，目前看来提名作品都有一定的竞争力（没有像某人担心的那样成为尼尔·盖曼专属奖项），试看到时花落谁家吧。
