Two things came to my mind with this:

- Use a series-like column. So a series could be "Nebula for Novel" with the year used as the series index. The decimal could be used to indicate the winner and nominees. The problem with this is what to do with multiple award winners.

- The other way is to use a tag type column. In this case, the tags would be hierarchical. So, "Nebula.Novel.1987" and "Hugo.Novel.1988". For the nominees, maybe "Nebula.Novel.1987.Nominee". With this, you can search for any part of the tag and the tag browser can show these as a hierarchy.

I sort of like the first one, but I think the second is more flexible and extendable.
