Congratulations to the winners, and commiserations to the losers. Yes, even the Puppies, because I am willing to believe that anyone who puts their hands on pen or keyboard in the service of our art partakes, to one extent or another, in the thing we're trying to honor. Whatever else they've done, whatever dissatisfactions and entitlements they've let eat them out from the core, are laid on top of that basic impulse. And that is what the Hugos honor.
