The Dumbies 2009 - The Winners
And the winners are....
I'm not sure if it's Science Fiction, but it's definitely William Gibson: cool and zeitgeisty and strange within the familiar. It's about the people on the edge. Writing that makes me want to read it again and again, and a plot that left me hooked and wondering (in a good way). Loved it.
Film : Moon
Moon wins easily. It's stylish, cool and surprisingly takes the Science Fictional fork in the plot path. Great stuff and destined to be a classic.
Short Fiction : Episode Seven: Last Stand Against the Pack in the Kingdom of the Purple Flowers by John Lanagan (read in Wastelands: Stories Of The Apocalypse)
It's the sort of story that hints at more, keeps you hooked and makes you care about the characters. Great writing, taking the well worn apocalypse and crafting something new.
Television : Lost
Yes, Lost again. Even more bonkers, with added time travel. Great fun, characters I love and yes, it's Science Fiction. I cannot wait for the last season, then I will be sad.
Comics : xkcd
I forgot to mention it in the nominations, but it still wins because xkcd makes me laugh. A lot. Still.
For those about to ROCK! we salute you. Plus you got lots of kids playing real guitar. No Science Fiction but lots of ROCK!
