Vincent and the HUGO?

By Christian Cawley, April 24, 2011 - Doctor Who - no comments

Just so Matthew Milam can finally understand that while opinions count, it doesn’t make them facts, Doctor Who has clocked up a nice handful of HUGO award nominations!

As revealed by Paul Cornell’s tweeting, Vincent and the Doctor (by Richard Curtis), The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang and A Christmas Carol (by Steven Moffat) are nominated in the shortform drama presentation category.

A win for any of the episodes would be impressive as the HUGO awards are probably the science fiction industy’s most prestigious title. Steven Moffat has previously had success at the awards, but we have a good feeling about Vincent and the Doctor…

These shortlist nominations have only been revealed this evening, so we’ll update you with further news as we get it!
