Interesting, no?

Actually, you can read this information off my 'complete Hugo nominees' list in the Locus Index to Science Fiction -- http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/HugoNomList.html -- where names of nominees I consider principally artists are a red-brown color. This list doesn't have the '05 nominations incorporated, though.
A very good resource indeed. Thanks!
Now, why is there no Hugo for Best Antholog?
Because no one has proposed one at the annual business meeting of Worldcon?
Any Worldcon member may propose changes to the WSFS Constitution.
