This year’s Hugo Award nominations, an annual celebration honoring the best science fiction and fantasy writing and literature, have been announced — and today Star Trek: Strange New Worlds now follows in the footsteps of the franchise’s best installments.
 
Two episodes of Strange New Worlds Season 2 earned Hugo nominations, and they are the ones you’d expect: the Lower Decks crossover episode “Those Old Scientists,” and the musical extravaganza “Subspace Rhapsody.”
 

The category Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) also features two episodes of Doctor Who, the finale of Marvel’s Loki series, and the well-received “Long, Long Time” episode of HBO’s The Last of Us.

• Doctor Who: “The Giggle”, written by Russell T. Davies, directed by Chanya Button (Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for The BBC and Disney Branded Television)
• Loki: “Glorious Purpose”, screenplay by Eric Martin, Michael Waldron and Katharyn Blair, directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Marvel / Disney+)
• The Last of Us: “Long, Long Time”, written by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, directed by Peter Hoar (Naughty Dog / Sony Pictures)
