Piece of THE MARTIAN trivia that I learned:

Even though the Hugo committee decided that THE MARTIAN wasn't eligible for a Best Novel Hugo, due to its weird publication history timeline (its eligibility period was counted from when it was first self-published online, but it didn't become well known until it was published in a dead-tree version in stores), the movie nonetheless will have its Hugo connection. The guy who did the script has two Hugo noms with one win for his work on BUFFY and ANGEL.
