HUGO VOTING STATISTICS What do these numbers mean? The Hugo voting process uses a referential ("Australian") ballot. At each step, the lowest nominee is dropped and all the ballots listing that nominee as #1 have the lower choices moved up one position and the ballots are counted again. This continues until one nominee has more than 50% of the votes. This process is repeated for the remaining positions (#'s 2 through 5 or 6) by dropping the nominee that one the previous round, and moving the rest up one postion. If two or more nominees are tied for last, all of the tied nominees are dropped and the remaining choices moved up.

One more vote for "Moon Six" would have tied it with "...Fish..." for the Hugo, two more would have given it the award ourtight.] BEST SHORT STORY 561 ballots counted First Place Second Place "The 43 Antarean Dynasties" 136 137 152 167 195 231 "Itsy Bitsy Spider" 90 90 108 136 159 217 123 123 145 187 238 "No Planets Strike" 98 98 103 117 143 120 121 134 159 215 "The Hand You're Dealt" 92 93 94 98 125 126 132 139 "Standing Room Only" 71 71 77 86 86 98 "Beluthahatchie" 56 56 68 68 No Award 18 20 Third Place Fourth Place Fifth Place Sixth Place "No Planets Strike" 142 143 172 231 "The Hand You're Dealt" 159 160 174 209 192 195 227 "Standing Room Only" 114 114 143 158 158 211 215 218 "Beluthahatchie" 92 92 119 120 177 181 317 No Award 22 30 51 64 BEST RELATED BOOK 500 ballots counted First Place Second Place The Encyclopedia of Fantasy 187 187 194 205 226 Infinite Worlds 144 144 151 167 207 198 198 216 Space Travel 85 85 91 98 121 121 131 Reflections and Refractions 44 44 46 70 72 78 Spectrum IV: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art 31 31 51 51 No Award 9 16 Third Place Fourth Place Fifth Place Space Travel 158 158 197 Reflections and Refractions 131 133 166 209 Spectrum IV 107 108 128 248 No Award 17 19 40 BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION 712 ballots counted First Place Second Place Third Place Fourth Place Fifth Place Contact 288 290 298 324 397 Men in Black 192 195 206 226 265 275 280 309 382 Gattaca 102 103 107 121 184 185 192 231 244 249 280 The Fifth Element 64 64 72 117 119 138 209 212 266 341 Starship Troopers 37 38 62 65 111 115 158 316 No Award 29 38 55 91 178 BEST PROFESSIONAL EDITOR 575 ballots counted First Place Second Place Third Place Fourth Place Fifth Place Gardner Dozois 181 181 205 224 300 Stanley Schmidt 150 150 153 173 205 184 184 202 238 David Hartwell 108 108 119 135 149 149 184 229 200 200 258 Gordon Van Gelder 56 57 95 96 135 137 216 219 Scott Edelman 68 68 72 100 100 118 138 139 181 206 208 349 No Award 12 14 18 23 37 BEST PROFESSIONAL ARTIST 555 ballots counted First Place Second Place Third Place Bob Eggleton 121 121 136 158 190 274 Michael Whelan 131 131 147 165 188 220 162 162 183 228 283 David Cherry 88 88 99 114 140 109 109 127 155 204 143 143 169 217 Jim Burns 72 72 76 92 93 108 128 105 106 127 Don Maitz 63 63 88 88 103 136 136 163 211 Thomas Canty 77 77 88 98 83 83 94 94 No Award 3 4 5 Fourth Place Fifth Place Sixth Place Don Maitz 195 195 249 Jim Burns 132 133 166 200 Thomas Canty 120 120 178 315 No Award 11 13 17 BEST SEMIPROZINE 562 ballots counted First Place Second Place Third Place Locus 211 211 225 259 The New York Review of Science Fiction 90 90 106 148 129 129 147 224 Science Fiction Chronicle 80 80 103 108 139 140 174 209 179 180 229 Interzone 90 91 101 130 131 145 181 182 205 Speculations 75 76 85 86 95 97 No Award 16 21 25 Fourth Place Fifth Place Interzone 259 Speculations 121 265 No Award 32 47 BEST FANZINE 403 ballots counted First Place Second Place Third Place Fourth Place Fifth Place Mimosa 82 82 94 125 184 Ansible 70 70 91 112 87 87 115 167 File 770 66 66 74 91 91 105 128 128 161 Tangent 105 105 114 118 136 124 124 135 158 133 133 155 169 Attitude 52 52 56 56 68 69 108 179 No Award 28 29 32 41 55 BEST FAN WRITER 370 ballots counted First Place Second Place Third place David Langford 89 99 105 105 126 157 Mike Glyer 70 74 89 89 101 126 96 112 129 130 159 Evelyn C.
