The 2009 Hugo Nominations have been announced. Very interesting is the nomination of the METAtropolis audiobook in the Dramatic Presentation, Long Form category. It’s there competing against four films: The Dark Knight, WALL-E, Hellboy II, and Iron Man. I hope this nomination brings some attention to the growing audiobook industry – is it time for an Audio category? |Here’s the review we did of METAtropolis|

All of the novel nominees are available on audio, except for Charles Stross’s Saturn’s Children:

Anathem by Neal Stephenson (Audiobook from Macmillan Audio)
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman |More info in SFFaudio Review|
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow |More info in SFFaudio Review|
Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross
Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi (Audiobook from Macmillan Audio, exclusive to Audible.com)

Congrats to all the nominees!
