Hugo Award (fiction) winners, by number of wins (updated)
By Ian Randal Strock October 2, 2009

This GraphicleTM has been updated to reflect this year's winners. There were no first-time Hugo winners in the fiction categories. Ted Chiang's win for his short story "Exhalation" was his third Hugo. Elizabeth Bear's novelette "Shoggoths in Bloom" garnered her a second Hugo. Nancy Kress's novella Hugo for "The Erdmann Nexus" was her second Hugo. And Neil Gaiman's novel, The Graveyard Book got him his fourth Hugo, moving him into a tie with Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and George R.R. Martin.

The list should be broken down by category or weighted. It is a bit unfair to weigh short fiction as heavily a novel.

I also don't understand how Bear won this year. I can think of a number of pieces that trump Shoggoths.

I second Alec's category selection (but please, no weighting).
