Okay, so Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union didn't win the Edgar Award a few months back, but at Worldcon in Denver it did continue its genre dominance, winning both the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Sidewise Award for Best Long Form Alternate History.

You can find a complete list of the Hugo winners here and the Sidewise winners here.

Also awarded at Worldcon was the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer (not to be confused with the John W. Campbell Award for Best Novel, a juried prize recently awarded to Kathleen Ann Goonan for In War Times) which went this year to Mary Robinette Kowal.
