The 2023 Hugo Awards: A Report on Censorship and Exclusion
Chris M. Barkley, Jason Sanford
What a f***ing mess...
As everyone who cares now knows, the 2023 Hugo Awards, awarded at the Worldcon in Chengdu, China, are basically bogus, because certain authors whose works should have been eligible were arbitrarily excluded from consideration. This report, while incomplete, makes it clear that everyone involved in the Chengdu Hugo Awards shat the bed and now have egg all over their faces. (I love me a well-mixed metaphor.)
I have no real insights into this, but I will point you to John Scalzi's blog post on the report, which is the most insightful relevant commentary I've seen.
