For only the third time, the Hugo Award for Best Novel was awarded to two books: China Miéville's The City & The City and Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl. Both books have been dominating science fiction and fantasy awards lists all year. This year's winners join good company, 1993's shared best novel went to Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep and Connie Willis's Doomsday Book and in 1966, Frank Herbert's Dune and Roger Zelazny's ... And Call Me Conrad also deadlocked the voters.

The John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer went to Seanan McGuire, author of Rosemary and Rue.
