I would say so, but there could be arguments made against. It's not a video game character anyway - but yeah I'd say video game characters count as animated.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:41 pmClarification (not a new question):
Would a video game character count as "animated" ?
No, no e in their full first name

This rules out the work of a few people I was starting to think of, such as Emily St. John Mandel (whose last two or three books all achieved considerable acclaim).DarthPorg36 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 4:20 pm
Free hint: This character first appears in a book that was published 2010 or later, and is easily the author's most well-known book
Yes, I believe so. The book won an award at the Hugo Awards, but I do not know if that is a Hugo Award per se?Spartaculous wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 5:50 pmWas the book in which this character first appeared nominated for (or won!) a Hugo Award, Nebula Award, or World Fantasy Award?
No
Mark Watney is correct!
Thanks for the game DarthPorg!DarthPorg36 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 7:48 pmMark Watney is correct!
Congrats Spartaculous! One of my favorite characters in one of my favorite books of all time. The movie is pretty good too! I recommend both.

The author, Andy Weir, won the "Astounding Award for Best New Writer". It looks like it is not technically a "Hugo Award", but it is presented at the Hugo Awards ceremony; DarthPorg's comment that "the book won an award at the Hugo Awards" seems appropriate.damo666 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 10:04 pmWhich award?DarthPorg36 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:42 pmYes, I believe so.
