Some of last year’s best comics, movies, and genre prose works are in the running to win the prestigious Hugo Award. Get ready for a cinematic battle royale between Get Out, The Shape of Water, Wonder Woman, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Thor: Ragnarok and Blade Runner 2049.

Over the weekend, the World Science Fiction Society announced the list of Hugo Awards finalists. Voting is underway and the winners will be announced at WorldCon in August. Hugo watchers will note that N.K. Jemisin, who won Best Novel in 2016 for The Fifth Season and again in 2017 for its sequel, The Obelisk Gate, is poised for a historic hat trick if the third book in her Broken Earth trilogy, The Stone Sky, takes this year’s prize.
