Ancillary Justice has been nominated for five major awards and has already won the 2013 BSFA and the 2014 Clarke and is still in the running for the 2014 Hugo. That’s 3 out of 4 so far. Very impressive. Can she go 4 out of 5 with the Hugo? What do you think of this result? With all those noms it can’t be much of a surprise. Anything on the ballot that you would have preferred to have won?

This ballot’s got a lot of variety and continues a recent trend in the Nebulas having a female majority of noms: 6 of 8 for 2013, 4 of 6 2012, 4 of 6 2011 and 5 of 6 for 2010. Interesting. Ancillary Justice has the most award nominations out of these book (3 so far) so I guess that makes it the front runner. What are your predictions? Do you have a favorite?
