The Big Damn Movie just won another Big Damn Award, the 2006 Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form. It also won the Nebula earlier in the year, and was presented the Prometheus Award last night from the Libertarian Futurist Society.

Results for other Hugo winners can be found here - http://www.locusmag.com/2006/News/08_HugoCampbellWinners.html

This makes me SOOOOO happy!!!!!!
I love science fiction (Firefly/Serenity being a favorite) and was hoping "Serenity" would win!!!
A big congrats to Joss&Company for their success!!
Now...about that sequel...
I also have to say that I was really excited to see that the short story "Tk,Tk,Tk" won in that catigory. The podcast Escape Pod ran the Hugo short story nominees in a series that showcased all the stories. They were all wonderful, but "Tk,Tk,Tk" really stuck out in my mind.
If you're interested in science fiction short stories, check out "Escape Pod" at www.escapepod.org
New short sci-fi every week and occasional 5-7 minute long "flash" pieces and reviews of genere movies, TV and books.
Congrats to "Serenity"!!!
It's shiny...

That`s excellent news. I thought that the BDH had a good chance of winning but it was never a sure thing.
Any idea who picked up the trophy? It would be nice to think that Joss now has a shiny (literally) new rocket ship award on his mantelpiece.
Come to think of it, this is a boost to plans to produce Firefly/Serenity novelisations.
While the Hugo and Nebula`s are not exactly `high profile` in Hollywood, `Winner of the Hugo and Nebula` always boosts sales of SF and fantasy books so things may get interesting on the publishing front shortly.

Truly excellent news. I didn't doubt it would win looking at the competition, but it's great to know it's won.

Maybe this'll prompt some of the TV exec's to look more closely at FF, and hopefully think about bringing it back.

Its also nice to see Dr Who pick up the `Short Form` as well.

Of the top of my head I cant think of any other movie thats swept up all the major SF awards in quite the same way.
It kind of puts Serenity up there with SF novels like Dune, Downbelow Station and the like.

UPDATE,
Just did some checking on the Nebula website and found something interesting.
While a number of other SF films have won the Hugo, the only other films to have won both appear to be Sleeper, the LOTR films and STAR WARS a new hope.
Looks like we have a bona fide SF classic on our hands here people.

Now that's what I call good news. Classic sci-fi - as if we Browncoats would settle for anything less. ;)

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't do that you sit still and watch episodes of Firefly.

HU-GO!
HU-GO!
HU-GO!

Yay award earners, many Kudos!

Okay:
Award winning show.
Vociferous and dedicated fanbase with disposable income.

What more are they waiting for, critical acclaim and a big neon sign over the studiaos saying "put this show back in production, it will net a profit and boost your ratings"?
Actually yes, that's probably exactly it.

We'll hold the line 'till they get back.

Shiny!
I'm happy...I'm GIDDY!

Truthfully, though, I am not surprised at all. I'm more surprised when Serenity (and/or cast and crew) doesn't win an award (or worse, doesn't even get nominated).

Yep, that went well.
I had a good day.
Still Flyin'.
Too damn pretty to die.

Every award, every accolade, every convert is one step closer to sequel.

Say it with me now:

QUEL

SEQUEL!

BWAH!

I am so excited! Congrats Joss and crew and all!

This is such good news!

I surfed last night til late hoping I'd see this news and then I get up to discover my hopes were rewarded! Oh, another award to put up there with so many others! Our BDM is an awesome thing!

Like so many others in this thread....

What more do they want? How much more proof do they need?

We need more people, over and over we hear that.... well, ok.. we'll be here and we'll recruit and we'll make sure they see that we're out here and we're proud and ready for another something.. anything.

I'll hold. And work.

Go to this thread for ways to boost the signal!
