Hugo Nominations Announced

Posted by timothy on from the hugh-go-girl dept.

Embedded Geek writes "With the 2004 Nebula Awards being awarded this weekend, the Hugo nominations have been announced. As usual, the field is packed with lots of deserving entries, although I'm sure everyone has a favorite that was missed. I was particularly interested in the Short Form Drama, though, with Joss Wheadon getting three nominations for canceled shows (two Firefly, one Buffy) and Gollum's Acceptance Speech at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards getting a nod. Also of interest are the Retro Hugos, an effort to look back and recognize SF published before anyone thought to hand out awards for it. Retro nominees include such greats as Childhood's End, Fahrenheit 451, and Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 th Century (no, really!). You have until 31 July, 2004 to join Noreascon Four and vote for your favorites!"

  1. Gollum speech in a better format? by shrubya · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Anyone know where to find a copy of the Gollum speech in a real (i.e. not Real(tm)) format? MPG? MP2? MP4? OGG? Anything reasonably open (and not transcoded from VHS)?

    p.s. Damn annoying that the speech wasn't on the LOTR:TTT extended DVD. It really belonged there.
