"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Wins Hugo Award

[Budokan]

For those who didn't know:

CTHD won the prestigous fan-based Hugo Award for best science fiction and/or fantasy movie last week at WorldCon, the largest SF convention held throughout the year. If I'm not mistaken, it's the first time a MA film ever won this award.

And Harry Potter / The Goblet of Fire won a Hugo as well.

Both of these are great ... I'm just not sure I'd call either of them SF.

[Budokan]

You're right, they're not SF, but the category is somewhat open-ended and anything even remotely approaching fantasy is accepted.

You have GOT to be kidding. It was a barely passable story. CTHD was a 'pretty' kungfu movie, that's all. A Hugo??? (looks up at sky, checking for pigs)
