The easiest way to learn how to build searches on hierarchical columns is to use the tag browser. It will show you the syntax to do a full match and to match items in the front of the hierarchy. For example, in your case click on the "1988" in the Awards section of the tag browser. Each click will show you a different search. IIRC: there will be 5.
There is one search that the tag browser doesn't show: how to search for an internal match. For example, to find all 1988 regardless of the award, use
Note the 2 periods. One period there means that the text must be a prefix. Two periods means that the text must match an internal item in the hierarchy. The equals means it must match the entire prefix or item.
To summarize: to find all Nebula winners (not runner-up or whatever else there can be) use:
Code:
#award:=.Nebula and #award:=..Winner
