204.0. "1985 Hugo Awards" by AKOV68::BOYAJIAN () Tue May 14 1985 06:19

Here is a list of the nominees for this year's Hugo Awards, to be given out at
the World SF Convention this Labor Day weekend. When I find out the winners,
I'll post them as a response. I've left out the categories of Best Fanzine,
Best Fan Writer, and Best Fan Artist, since I've the impression that there
aren't too many fanzine fans here. If anyone wants me to post them, ask and I
will do so. The information is from the May 1985 LOCUS.
	"IASFM" stands for ISAAC ASIMOV'S SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE; "F&SF"
for THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION.
	Those stories flagged with a "*" were also nominated for a Nebula.
Those with a "**" won the Nebula Award.
