Best Short Story: "Tk'tk'tk", David D. Levine (Asimov's Mar 2005)
Best Dramatic Presentation - Long Form: Serenity (Universal Pictures/Mutant Enemy, Inc.; Written & Directed by Joss Whedon)

I clicked the link but I still can't find this year's winner in the "Best Story by Austin Ross" category. What am I doing wrong?

One day, Phil...one day.
Anyway, just in case anyone is as sad as me and actually enjoys these type of statistics: This was the first Hugo win for Robert Charles Wilson, Peter S. Beagle *and* David D. Levine. It was Connie Willis's ninth (!) Hugo win, and she now holds the record for most Hugo Awards for a single author. The previous record holder was Harlan Ellison, with eight and a half. (One collaborative win, hence the half.)

It's odd, but at 119 minutes, the "Long Form" winner isn't that much longer than the 85-odd minutes of TEC/TDD. After all, 85 mins is longer than some movies...
