Just for the record...
The Best Dramatic Presentation Hugo isn't just for movies. Single episodes of TV shows as well as TV miniseries are also eligible. "Dune" was up for the BDP Hugo last year. I'm planning on nominating at least one episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" myself (probably the musical ep).
And on a related note, the category may be split up after this year so movies and TV are in separate categories. There are so many qualified movies and TV shows out there these days that the amount of material seems to merit the split, IMO.
The Hugos are not strictly for science fiction. They are for science fiction AND fantasy works. This misconception that the Hugos are only for SF works is rampant but still wrong.
To be precise, the deadline to join ConJose in order to nominate for the Hugos is January 31. I don't quite recall the deadline to join to vote, but IIRC, earlier Worldcons have allowed people to buy memberships at the same time they vote, so end-of-voting as the deadline is likely to be correct.
If the people who didn't like the government they were under always took the advice of rabid patriots like a few Anonymous Cowards have made here and left, the USA would never have been founded. It was the people sick of their government that fomented the Revolutionary War, not the people content to sit back on their asses and let the people in charge run roughshod. I may disagree with the naysayers, but I'm glad they feel safe enough to comment.
