1981 Award to C. L. Moore
editThe article needs to explain why the Grand Master award was dropped after 1980 or 1981.
The Locus SF Awards database lists a 1981 award to C. L. Moore, without any other finalists, while it lists five finalists for 1974 to 1980.[1] --P64 (talk) 01:59, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- I was at the Hugo ceremony in Denver in 1981 and I got the impression that the award to C.L. Moore was unplanned. David Langford reported as such in Ansible: "Catherine L Moore. (The Gandalf had been excluded from the Hugo Ballot, but at the awards ceremony someone called Killus leapt on to the stage and invited the audience to award the thing to GoH Moore by democratically clapping their hands. They did. Gosh wow.)"

ISFDB awards coverage
edit- Evidently the Internet Speculative Fiction Database is in the process of adding awards coverage. I have now expanded this article, taking as point of entry "Awards" at the ISFDB wiki. (Our lead paragraph a few days ago seems to be from that wiki entry with a few tweaks.) --P64 (talk) 17:04, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
