It was a big weekend for awards in the science fiction and fantasy field. The winners of the Hugo, Sidewise, Aurora, Analog Anlab, and Asimov's Readers' awards were announced as well as the nominees for the World Fantasy Awards and the Analog
The winners of the 2024 Hugo Awards were announced at the World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow, Scotland. These are the fiction winners.
The winners of the 2023 Sidewise Awards for the best Alternate History of 2023 were also announced at the Glasgow Worldcon.

The winners of the 2024 Aurora Awards winners for the best science fiction and fantasy by Canadians were also announced last weekend. These are the fiction winners:
- Best Novel: The Valkyrie, Kate Heartfield

- Best Novelette/Novella: "Untethered Sky", Fonda Lee

The winners of the 2023 Analog Analytical Laboratory (AnLab) Awards and the 38th Asimov’s Readers’ Awards, have been announced. As usual, Locus has the complete list. I find it interesting, and a bit sad, that none of the nominees for the Hugo Awards were from the traditional SF magazines.
Finally, the finalists for the World Fantasy Awards were also announced. The winners will be announced at the World Fantasy Convention in Niagara Falls, NY in October. These are the finalists for Best Novel.
