The only space-based movie
on the list is the Star Trek send-up Galaxy Quest, a movie
that skewers the fans who nominated it. Star
Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, perhaps crippled by the Jar
Jar factor, didn’t make the cut.
Below are the nominees for
the 47th annual Hugo Awards. The winners will be announced Saturday at
a formal event at Chicon 2000. Your friend SPACE.com will be there.
