      The thing that's genuinely very sad is that this is an excellent array of winners and they've been buried inside a deeply misjudged, intensely overproduced 3.5 trudge that looks for all the world like an extended ego trip.

      It struck me as an egregious case of failing to read the room on GRRM's part, the "room" being the people engaged enough to vote for this particular set of Hugo winners, many of whom seemed deeply involved in struggles of representation that GRRM just doesn't get. 1/x

          In another context, GRRM's stories of his up-and-down relationship with the Hugo's (especially as a struggling young writer) would have been just fine, along with what he had to say about Campbell, Asimov and Heinlein. 2/x

          But GRRM hasn't been a struggling young writer for longer than many of his readers have been alive, and he's achieved a level of success that Campbell and Asimov and Heinlein could only dream of. Among baby-boom sf writers, maybe only Stephen King outdoes him on that level. 3/x

          Even if GRRM’s intentions were good- the resulting words and tone were dismissive and anything but forward-facing. I’m tired of old white men being given a pass on disrespect, racist and sexist words and behaviors because “they meant well”. He’s a writer. He knows how words work.

          Understood, and I would not give GRRM a pass on this - IMHO, not only has he pretty much disqualified himself from participating in future Hugo’s ceremonies, his performance last night will be regarded as a textbook example of how NOT to do this sort of thing.
