Hugo Awards 2015: Complete list of winners

The 2015 Hugo Awards marked a particularly vibrant year for science fiction and fantasy recognition, showcasing the genre’s expanding reach beyond traditional prose narratives. The ceremony, often described as the fan-voted counterpart to the prestigious Nebula Awards, demonstrated voters’ appetite for fresh talent and innovative storytelling across multiple mediums. This year’s selections reflected a growing confidence in the field’s ability to champion underrepresented voices and experimental formats—a trend that would continue to define speculative fiction conversations in the years ahead.

One standout win that exemplified this shift was G. Willow Wilson’s Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal, which claimed the Best Graphic Story award and signaled the Hugo Awards’ increasing recognition of comics as a legitimate medium within the science fiction and fantasy landscape. Wilson’s vibrant reimagining of the Ms. Marvel character, centering a Pakistani-American Muslim teenager in New Jersey, represented exactly the kind of boundary-pushing storytelling that resonated with 2015 Hugo Awards voters. This victory highlighted how the awards were becoming more inclusive not just in terms of the stories being told, but in acknowledging the diverse formats through which modern speculative fiction reaches audiences.

Here’s the complete list of 2015 Hugo Awards winners across all categories:
