The Hugo Awards, named after Hugo Gernsback, are given every year for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements of the previous year. Results are based on the ballots submitted by members of the World Science Fiction Society.

The Hugo Award ceremony was directed and hosted by Michael Jordan and Executive assistant Paula McGrath.
