The Best Novel Hugo went to Lois McMaster Bujold's PALADIN OF SOULS while Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" won the Best Short Story award. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING won Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) while it was a RINGS acceptance speech that won the Hugo for the Short Form competition, besting two episodes of FIREFLY and the series finale of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Best Novella was awarded to "The Cookie Monster" by Vernor Vinge while Michael Swanwick's "Legions in Time" won the Best Novelette award.
