Money?[edit]
Is there any actual remuneration that goes with the prize? The Booker Prize, for example, comes with a considerable cash prize. Is there anything comparable with the Hugo?

- No. Indeed, if you're David Langford you're eventually out of pocket because you need a longer mantlepiece. Pinkbeast (talk) 16:51, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Twenty-eight??? Sufferin' gods!
- And why have I not heard of him before? Bad fen. No lembas.

- Do start your Langfording at http://ansible.uk/ as the best source for all your Langfordish needs. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:39, 16 September 2017 (UTC) (Full disclosure: I've known Langford, a/k/a User:DeafMan for decades; he was one of the nominators for my unsuccessful Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund candidacy.)
"Works are eligible for an award if they were published in English in the prior calendar year. "[edit]
In this article (and other related articles), there's a statement "Works are eligible for an award if they were published in English in the prior calendar year.", whereas Hugo Award official site states "They can be published anywhere in the world (or out of it), and they can be published in any language."

Boilerplate Hugo text[edit]
This article's intro is very clean and tidy, but the same cannot be said for that of the articles for the categories - which each have a slab of boilerplate about the Hugo's in general that's longer than that here. Only then do they mention their actual topic - then followed by another generic slab about the Hugo selection process.
I made a recent edit to Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor (here), which I think improved it, but was reverted because of an apparent convention to begin all awards like this. Can we discuss whether it's OK to clean these up? - Snori (talk) 03:55, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I've now been a Bit Bold and done this for all award categories. An improvement I think. - Snori (talk) 23:35, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Fargo III-3[edit]
In the third episode of the third season of "Fargo," a "Hugo" is awarded. I suspect that such pop-cultural references are not very common. So I'm surprised it's not mentioned. Greetings from the healthier side of the Atlantic! 2A02:908:F17:B1E0:F88F:20E9:99BA:59C4 (talk) 17:19, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
