More details are available in the official 2019 Hugo Results report (pdf).  Six of my first choices and five of my second took home the trophy — just over half the ballot!  Several of my nominees which didn’t make the final ballot turned up on the longlist.  Any further thoughts on last year before we learn this year’s finalists?

You can find more details in the 2018 Hugo & Related Award Statistics (pdf).  Nicholas Whyte, a former Hugo Administrator, and Camestros Felapton, one of the Best Fan Writer Finalists, both made some observations about the results.

Six of my first choices and four of my second took home the trophy — just over half the ballot!  Several of my nominees turned up on the longlist as well.  I was especially happy for BookTuber Rachel (Kalanadi) in Best Fancast.  What are your thoughts on the outcome?
