Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form: Stardust Written by Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn, Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman Illustrated by Charles Vess Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Paramount Pictures)

I heart Neil Gaiman.
 
I've read quite a few of the Best Novel winners and so far I think whoever votes for the Hugos does a pretty darn good job picking good books.
