Will Who reign supreme at the 2012 Hugos? I thought I knew who I would vote for, were I a Worldcon member, but then I wavered not only over a non-Doctor Who nominee, but also questions about the nature of the awards themselves.
Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) (512 ballots)
- "The Doctor's Wife" (Doctor Who), written by Neil Gaiman; directed by Richard Clark (BBC Wales)
- "The Drink Tank's Hugo Acceptance Speech," Christopher J Garcia and James Bacon (Renovation)
- "The Girl Who Waited" (Doctor Who), written by Tom MacRae; directed by Nick Hurran (BBC Wales)
- "A Good Man Goes to War" (Doctor Who), written by Steven Moffat; directed by Peter Hoar (BBC Wales)
- "Remedial Chaos Theory" (Community), written by Dan Harmon and Chris McKenna; directed by Jeff Melman (NBC)
WELL, I completely agree with your second thought. Community happens to be my favorite show and I thought that Remedial Chaos Theory was the second best episode of the series (the first being the Chicken Fingers/Goodfellas episode from season 1) and easily one of the best commentaries on the multiverse story. It rewarded non-regular viewers with a smart, genre story and regular viewers with a great exploration of what the different characters mean to each other.
And I totally won't mind losing to it!

Thanks, and congratulations on your nom and meta-nom.
