  1. I do like that they break out fantasy from science fiction, but am not keen about the various sub-genre awards such as best military science fiction and best alternative history books. I also want to see awards for short fiction, but I guess having video game awards instead makes them more modern.

  2. Only time will tell if this will have any legs or not. But based on the categories, it is clearly a more of a genre media award than SF oriented. The fact that short fiction is not included at all precludes it from being any viable successor/replacement to the Hugo.
