Moon Beats Stiff Competition To Win Hugo Award

Among the twilight and stars, Like a rocket to…

Congratulations to Duncan Jones and team MOON for yet another prestigious award.

The 2010 Hugo Awards have just taken place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in Australia, and MOON has won the Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Category.

This was some achievement considering the impressive list of fellow nominees that MOON had to beat: Avatar, District 9, Star Trek and Up.

Here’s Duncan’s reaction to the news via Twitter: “Holy shnikey! A Bafta and a Hugo in the same year! I really CAN only go down-hill from here!! ;?)”

Read more about the event and the design of the beautiful Hugo award itself over at Man Made Movies, where it has also been revealed that Source Code is due on March 11th next year.

Finally, if you didn’t manage to get along to the screening of MOON at the NFT for the Q&A with Duncan on August 31st, (08.17.2010 NEWS: DUNCAN JONES INTERVIEW AND UPDATES ON MAN MADE MOVIES) you can view some pretty decent audience footage of the proceedings here.

If you’re a fan of MOON it’s really worth taking a look as there is some very interesting information revealed about what inspired the creative process and how those ambitions were realised by Duncan and his team.

Thanx to Unkle Rupert at Man Made Movies for the pointers to all of this stuff.
