Hugo, Hugo, as long as you USA-go

The Hugo Award nominees get trotted out for 2002. Truly global, as long as your definition of the world starts at the West Coast and ends at the East Coast.

Well, 2002 is rolling all over us, and it's time for the Hugo Awards once more, and as always, it's the USA that walks away with the majority of the best smarties.
