    The 1987 Hugo winners were:
 
Novel:  SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD - Orson Scott Card. (In a side note, L.Ron 
        Hubbard's BLACK GENESIS finished dead last, even behind No Award).
 
Novella:  GILGAMESH IN THE OUTBACK - Robert Silverberg
Novellette:  PERMAFROST - Roger Zelazny
Short Story:  "Tangents" - Greg Bear
Editor:  Terry Carr (on the second ballot.  For those of you thinking 
         "Sympathy vote", it should also be noted that he had obtained the most
         nominations for the category, and the nominations cutoff was before 
         his death).
Artist:  Jim Burns
Dramatic Presentation:  ALIENS
Semi-Prozine:  LOCUS (The hoax issue of the daily connewszine substituted
               the category "Best Issue Of LOCUS" here...)
Fanzine:  ANSIBLE
Fan Writer:  Dave Langford (publisher of ANSIBLE, and possessor of the home
             field advantage)
Fan Artist:  Brad Foster
Non-Fiction:  TRILLION YEAR SPREE - Brian Aldriss (DARK KNIGHT finished
              second.  See my posting in rec.arts.comics for details).
John W. Campbell Award:  Karen Joy Fowler
 
    And the 1990 Worldcon will be in Holland.  Pro Guests of Honor
will be Harry Harrison, Joe Haldeman, and a German editor whose name
wasn't remembered by the friends I picked up at the airport.  Fan GoH
will be Andy Porter of SF CHRONICLE.  Expect LOCUS and FILE 770 to
have a field day with this, due to Andy's editorials in SFC advocating
Holland.

I won't post all the voting and ballot round details -- if you want that, read File 770 (where I got this) or Locus or SF Chron, who should have it Real soon Now. Best Novel Speaker for the Dead, Card The Ragged Astronauts, Shaw Count Zero, Gibson Marooned in REaltime, Vinge No Award Black Genesis, Hubbard [editorial comment. Hubbard lost to no award by a fair margin. Ragged Astronauts rated so high because it was a British book and the local favorite -- sorry, but Count Zero is better.I won't start an argument about whether Card deserved the second win (although while I would have rather seen Gibson take it, I voted Speaker second)] Best Novella Gilgamesh in the Outback, Silverberg Escape from Kathmandu, Robinson R&R, Shepard Spice Pogrom, Willis Eifelheim, Flynn No Award [R&R had the most first place votes, but lost on the fifth round by a close margin. It also beat out Kathmandu for second, but again lost out on the fourth ballot for second place.] Best Novellete Permafrost, Zelazny Thor Meets Captain America, Brin The Winter Market, Gibson Hatrack River, Card The Barbaran Princess, Vinge No Award [winter market placed second in first place votes.] Best Short STory Tangents, Bear Robot Dreams, Asimov Boy who Plaited Manes, Springer Still Life, Garnett Rat, Kelly No Award [Robot dreams had the most first place votes by a good margin, but little overall popularity. It lost on the fifth ballot by a small margin] Best nonfiction Trillion Year Spree, Aldiss/Winger Dark Knight, Miller et al Industrial Light and Magic Science Fiction in Print, Locus books Only Apparently Real, Williams No Award. [first place votes werwe 280/174 for Trillion, not a bad showing for Dark Knight since many hard core fans refused to vote for it because it wasn't a non-fiction book, categorizing not-withstanding. Let's hope New Orleans does something rational about it. SF in Print and Only Apparently Real placed below No Award on the first ballot] Best Dramatic Presentation Aliens Star Trek IV The Fly Little Shop of horrors Labrynth No Award [a BIG drop between Aliens and the save the whale folks, and an even bigger drop between them and the Fly. the other three were far behind. Why do we give awards to folks who don't care about them? the only category (again) where nobody bothered to show up to accept] Best Pro Artist Jim Burns Frank Kelly Freas Don Maitz Barclay Shaw Tom Kid J.K. Potter no award [six ballots, with the top two slugging it out and the rest out of contention. Tom Kidd and Potter both placed below No Award on the first ballot] Best pro editor Terry Carr Gardner Dozois David Hartwell Ed Ferman Stanley Schmidt no award [no competition, it only went two ballots. First place ballots went 358 to 92. Ed ferman actually had the least first place votes] Best Semiprozine Locus Interzone SF Chron SF Review Fantasy Review No Award [Locus won by seven votes. Never let them tell you your vote doesn't count -- and I bet all the Interzone supporters who believed that are crying. SF Review and Fantasy review (now defunct) actually placed below No Award on the first ballot.] Best Fan Writer Dave Langford Patrick Nielsen Hayden Simon Ounsley Mike Glyer No Award D. West Arthur Hlavaty [Five ballots but it really wasn't close. Langford (the British local, but that doesn't denigrate the award) had the first ballot 232 to 116 for no award. Mike Glyer placed third after no award on the first ballor.] Best Fan Artist Brad Foster Arthur ATom Thomson Stu Shiffman Taral Steve Fox No Award [no award had the most first place votes, Brad beat ATom [finally!] on five ballots.
