I learned to love films of Jimmy Stewart, Natalie Wood, Barbara Streisand, Gene Kelly, Maureen O'Hara, Robert Redford. From there I discovered other old films that we watched together as a family all of them "classics" from older eras. And It's true, I would play our LaserDisc of that film all the time and dance along to the dance hall scene, and watch Vivian Leigh in awe as of the prettiest ladies I'd ever seen. ![]() I actually have a journal entry from when I was five stating that I liked watching Gone With The Wind for the pretty dresses. It was an old movie, but for me, I loved old films, even as a very little kid. There was a trailer for the film played during a kid's movie she had gone to see by accident when she was 7, and the imagery of a doll's broken face really stuck with her. (YES, I feel ancient just saying that sentence.) My mother was hesitant, she used to have nightmares as a kid about that film even without ever having seen it. ![]() I had heard of the title and asked my mother if we could see if it was available at Blockbuster to rent.

Thank you to all the people whose work I enjoyed this year (including those I didn’t nominate because I figured they’d have it locked and I wanted to give a nod to a personal favorite instead). I’m sharing my Hugo nomination ballot as a protest against the SP/RP notion that they’ve won against some secret cabal that has been undermining the Hugo process for years.
