Cinema
Box Office Success To the right is a list of the most successful box-office science fiction films of the Sixties, inflation-adjusted for a reasonably accurate direct comparison. These results are for cinematic distribution (rental) receipts only. Of the categories below, two are cinematic and two are literary from which, of course, the great films are born. |

The
Trieste awards began in 1963 with the science fiction equivalent of 'oscars'
being awarded to the best sci-fi films. Although originally intended to
encompass only pure science fiction they usually included consideration
of productions from the horror and fantasy genres, the choice being very
much dependent on the members who made up the panel which changed each year.
Originally the winners were presented with awards which consisted of silver
and golden 'Asteroids' but this was extended to medals and 'special' awards
by the end of the decade..

The Hugo Award was named in honor of Hugo Gernsback, "The Father of Magazine Science Fiction," as he was described in the Special Award presented to him in 1960. The Hugo Award, also known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award, is given annually by the World Science Fiction Society. The Hugo Awards are administered by the committee of the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) held that year and are determined by nominations from and the voting of the membership of the WSFS. Usually, a Hugo awarded in a particular year is for work that appeared in the previous calendar year. |

The
Nebula Awards, first presented in 1965, are administered, voted and
presented by the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA) to acknowledge
excellence in science fiction writing. With some few exceptions, they are
awarded in four categories: Novel, Novella, Novelette and Short Story. There is no cash prize associated with the award, the prize itself being a transparent block with an embedded glitter spiral nebula, and the glory and prestige of winning. |
