Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hugo Awards are given annually by members of the World Science Fiction Convention for the best science fiction or fantasy works. The awards are named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and given in various categories.
Winners for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form are presented here.
This award is for a dramatic production in any medium, of running time 90 minutes or less. Awards given in one year are for works released during the previous calendar year. Winning titles are listed first, with other nominees listed below. The category was created in year 2003 after splitting the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation award into two categories for long and short forms.
Nominees in this category are generally individual episodes of TV series, while those in the Long Form category tend to be feature-length films. Notably, however, in 2006 two of the nominees were live theatrical presentations produced by fans (Lucas Back in Anger and Prix Victor Hugo Awards Ceremony), and one was an animated short (Jack-Jack Attack). The controversial 2004 winner was none of the above, being instead an acceptance speech given by the fictional character Gollum during a film awards broadcast.
