Martin Hoare did accept a price also this year. It was a first fandom award but I cannot remember who it was for.

Th Hugo ceremony this year was rather good (maybe not as good as the one in Glasgow). Will McCarthy was funny as toastmaster. Robert Silverberg and Connie Willis was as always funny. The japanese presentation was skipped. And they sped it up by letting the same person present two Hugos.
