It is Hugo nominating time again. If you would like to participate in this year's nomation process, you'll need to become a suporting or attending member of Anticipation, which will host the 2009 Worldcon in Canada. You'll also be able to vote on the 2011 Worldcon location (personally, I'm rooting for Seattle). Once a member, you can nominate up to five works in each category, so get to work!

The big news, however, is the new Best Graphic Story category. Geezers like me might call it the "comic book" category, but I know you afficianados would correct me. Since the Hugo is not technically a science fiction award (fantasy novels also qualify), I wonder how loose the eligibility requirements would be for this one. Is it enough that a work is drawn, or must it be otherworldly? Could Batman receive an award? What about a classy title that isn't techy or fantastic at all, like Ghost World? Me, I'm rooting for the great one:  Asterix!
