‘Guardians of Galaxy’ won at 2015 Hugo Awards

The winners were announced on August 22 morning at the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention held in Spokane, Washington.

Director James Gunn, who also wrote the movie, is elated by the win.

“Oh my Gosh, this is so amazing,” he posted on Twitter. Meanwhile, “Orphan Black” took the category of Best Dramatic Presentation in the Short Form for the season 2 finale episode “By Means Which Have Never Been Tried”.

Some other categories were labeled “No Award” since voters either objected to the nominees or didn’t want to partake.

There’s a controversy that the awards excluded white males and conservatives in its list of nominees.
