Hugo Award

Established in 1953, The Hugo Awards are awarded to the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements of the previous year. Nominees and winners are voted for by members of the, and the awards themselves are presented at the annual World Science Fiction Convention over a number of various categories.

Dramatic Presentation
The Doctor Who Universe has had the most success in the category of "Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form", which is awarded to "a dramatised production in any medium", which generally lasts less than 90 minutes.

To date Doctor Who itself has received multiple nominations for each of the nine years since its revival. With a total of six wins, the series has won more than half of the Short Form awards since the "Dramatic Presentation" award was split into two separate categories (Long and Short Forms) in 2003.

Torchwood also received a nomination for Captain Jack Harkness, and the 50th Anniversary stories An Adventure in Space and Time and The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot were both nominated in 2014.

Steven Moffat in particular has had unparalleled success in this category. As an individual writer he has been short-listed thirteen times, meaning almost two thirds of his eligible regular television stories have been nominated. Of these, he received two nominations in both 2011 and 2014, and in 2013 three of the five nominees were written by Moffat. He has also won the award four times, including three consecutive wins for his first three televised stories.

Related work
The only other category in which the Doctor Who Universe has won a Hugo Award is for the "Best Related Work", which is awarded to "work related to the field of science fiction, fantasy, or fandom". This was for the reference book Chicks Dig Time Lords in 2011.

Chicks Unravel Time, and Queers Dig Time Lords also received nominations in 2013, and 2014 respectively.

Graphic story
Paul Cornell and Jimmy Broxton's The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who was nominated for a 2014 award in the "Best Graphic Story" category, given to a "science fiction or fantasy story told in graphic form"

This makes Cornell the only writer to earn Doctor Who nominations in two separate categories. He previously received nominations for the best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form in 2006 and 2008.

Neil Gaiman
Prior to the award winning episode The Doctor's Wife, Neil Gaiman's writing also achieved four other Hugo Awards, as well as a further nomination. These were awarded over four separate categories: "Best Short Story", "Best Novel", "Best Novella", and "Best Related Work".

The 2008 award for "Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form" was also won by the film Stardust, which was adapted from his novel of the same name.
