Comments: In 2010 the Best Novel Hugo Award resulted in a tie for only the third time in the history of the award category, with China Miéville's The City & the City sharing the honor with Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl.
Other than that, the Hugo Awards for 2010 were fairly bland in their results. The Foglio's won the Best Graphic Novel Hugo for the second year in a row for Girl Genius, Volume 9: Agatha Heterodyne and the Heirs of the Storm, Jack Vance won the Best Related Work Hugo for his autobiography, Doctor Who won the Short Form Dramatic Presentation Hugo for the episode The Waters of Mars, and so on and so forth. The entire slate of nominees for the Best Short Form Editor was the same as the slate for that award in 2009. About the only notably unusual thing that happened this year was that Farah Mendlesohn pulled off the difficult feat of getting herself nominated for two works in the same category, and Neil Gaiman was nominated for an award and didn't win.
